Wisdom of Solomon 3:3–7

And their going from us to be their ruin:

But they are in peace.

For though in the sight of men they be punished,

Their hope is full of immortality;

And having borne a little chastening, they shall receive great good;

Because God tested them, and found them worthy of himself.

As gold in the furnace he proved them,

And as a whole burnt offering he accepted them.

And in the time of their visitation they shall shine forth,

And like sparks among stubble they shall run to and fro.
