CHAP. III.
1 The conuersation and assurance, of the righteous. 7 The reward
of the faithfull. 11 Who are miserable.
1 Bvt the note soules of the righteous are in the hand
of God, and no torment shall touch them.
2 noteIn the sight of the vnwise they appeared to
die, and their end was thought grieuous,
3 And their departing from vs, destruction, but
they are in peace.
4 And though they suffer paine before men,
yet is note their hope full of immortalitie.
5 They are punished, but in fewe things, yet in
many things shal they be wel rewarded: note for God
proueth them, & findeth them meete for him selfe.
6 He tryeth them as the golde in the fornace,
and receiueth them as a perfect fruite offering.
7 noteAnd in the time of their vision they shall
shine, and runne thorowe as the sparks among the
stubble.
8 They note shall iudge the nations, and haue dominion
ouer the people, and their Lord shal reigne
for euer.
9 They that trust in him shall vnderstand the
trueth, and the faythfull shall remaine with him in
loue: for grace and mercy is among his Saints, and
he regardeth his elect.
10 But note the vngodly shalbe punished according
to their imaginations: for they haue despised the
righteous, and forsaken the Lord.
11 Who so despiseth wisdome and discipline, is
miserable, and their hope is vaine, and their labours
are foolish, and their workes vnprofitable:
12 Their wiues are vndiscreete, and their children
wicked: their offering is cursed.
13 Therefore the barren is blessed which is vndefiled,
and knoweth not the sinfull bed: note she shal
haue fruite in the visitation of the soules,
14 And the eunuch, which with his hands hath
not wrought iniquitie, nor imagined wicked things
against God: for vnto him shalbe giuen the speciall
gift of fayth, & an acceptable portion in the Temple
of the Lord.
15 For glorious is the fruite of good labours,
and the roote of wisdome shall neuer fade away.
16 But the children of adulterers shall not be
partakers of the holy things, and the seede of the
wicked bed shalbe rooted out.
17 And though they liue long, yet shall they be
nothing regarded, and their last age shalbe without
honour.
18 If they die hastely, they haue no hope, neither
comfort in the day of tryall.
19 For horrible is the end of the wicked generation.
