But the souls of the upright are in the hands of God, and no torment can touch them.
To the unenlightened, they appeared to die, their departure was regarded as disaster, their leaving us like annihilation; but they are at peace.
If, as it seemed to us, they suffered punishment, their hope was rich with immortality; slight was their correction, great will their blessings be. God was putting them to the test and has proved them worthy to be with him; he has tested them like gold in a furnace, and accepted them as a perfect burnt offering.
At their time of visitation, they will shine out; as sparks run through the stubble, so will they.
They will judge nations, rule over peoples, and the Lord will be their king for ever.
Those who trust in him will understand the truth, those who are faithful will live with him in love; for grace and mercy await his holy ones, and he intervenes on behalf of his chosen.
Wisdom 3:1-9
