The .iij. Chapter.
1 The conseruation and assuraunce of the ryghteous. 7 The rewarde of the
faythfull. 11 Who are miserable.
A
1 But the soules of the
ryghteous are in the
hande of God, ∧ there
shal no torment touche
them.
2 In the syght of the
vnwise they appeared
to die, ∧ their ende is taken for miserie,
3 And their departyng from vs to be
vtter destruction: but they are in rest.
4 For though they suffer payne before
men, yet is their hope full of immortalitie.
5 They are punished but in few thinges,
neuerthelesse in many thinges shal they
be well rewarded: for God proueth th&ebar;,
and findeth them meete for hym selfe.
6 As golde in the furnace doth he trye
them, and receaueth them as a burnt
offeryng: and when the tyme commeth
they shalbe loked vpon.
B
7 They shall shyne and runne through
as the sparkcles among the stubble.
8 They shal iudge the nations and haue
dominion ouer the people: and their
Lorde shall raigne for euer.
9 They that put their trust in him shall
vnderstande the trueth, and such as be
faythfull shall perseuer with hym in
loue: for his saintes haue grace ∧ mercie,
and he hath care for his elected.
10 But the vngodly shalbe punished accordyng
to their owne imaginations,
for they haue dispised the righteous, and
forsaken the Lorde.
11 For who so dispiseth wisdome and note
nurture he is note vnhappy, and as for the
hope of such it is but vayne, their labours
vnfruitfull, and their workes
vnprofitable.
12 Their wyues are vndiscrete, and their
children most vngodly.
13 Their offpryng [or progenie] is cursed:
Wherfore blessed is the barren that is
vndefiled, which hath not knowen the
sinnefull bed, she shall haue fruite in
the visitation of soules,
C
14 And the gelded which with his handes
hath wrought no vnrighteousnesse, nor
imagined wicked thinges agaynst God:
for vnto hym shalbe geuen the speciall
gyft of fayth, and the most acceptable
portion in the temple of God.
15 For glorious is the fruite of good labour,
and the roote of wisdome shall
neuer fade away.
16 As for the children of adulterers they
shall not come to a perfect ende, and the
seede of an vnryghteous bedde shalbe
rooted out.
17 And though they lyue long, yet shall
they be nothyng regarded, and their
last age shalbe without honour.
18 If they dye quickly they haue no hope,
neither comfort in the day of inquirie.
19 For horrible is the ende of the vnryghteous
generation.
