Chap. IIII.
Great difference betwen chaste, and adulterous generations. 7. Speedier
death of the iust is recompensed by Gods prouidence, 19. but the wicked
incurre greater damnation by liuing long.
1 O how beautiful is note the chaste generation with glorie:
for the memorie therof is immortal: because it is
knowen both with God, and with men.
2 When it is present,
they imitate it, and they desire it when it hath withdrawen itself,
and it triumpheth crowned for euer, winning the reward
of vndefiled conflictes.
3 But the multitude of the impious,
that hath manie children shal not be profitable, and bastarde
plants shal not take deepe roote, nor lay sure fundation.
4 And if in the boughes for a time they shal spring being
weakly set, they shal be moued of the winde, and by the vehemencie
of the windes they shal be rooted out.
5 For the vnperfect
boughes shal be broken, and their fruites shal be vnprofitable,
and sowre to eate, and meete for nothing.
6 For
the children that be borne of wicked sleepes, are witnesses of
wickednes against the parents in their examination.
7 But
note the iust if he be preuented with death, shal be in a place of
refreshing.
8 For venerable oldage is not that of long time,
nor accounted by the number of yeares: but the vnderstanding
of a man are grey heares:
9 and an immaculate life is
old age.
10 Pleasing God he is made beloued, and liuing among
sinners he was translated.
11 09Q0296He was taken away lest malice
should change his vnderstanding, or lest anie guile might deceiue
his soule.
12 For the bewitching of vanitie obscureth
good thinges, and the inconstancie of concupiscence peruerteth
the vnderstanding that is without malice.
13 Being consummate
in short space he fulfilled much time:
14 for his soule
pleased God: for this cause he hastened to bring him out of the
middes of iniquities: but the peoples that are seing, and not
vnderstanding, nor putting such thinges in their hartes:
15 that the grace of God, and mercie is toward his saintes, and
respect toward his elect.
16 But the iust dead condemneth the
-- --
impions aliue, and youth soone ended, the long life of the
vniust.
17 For they shal see the end of the wise, and shal not
vnderstand what God hath thought of him, and why our Lord
hath fensed him.
18 For they shal see and shal contemne him:
but our Lord shal laugh them to scorne,
19 and they shal fal
after this without honour, and in contumelie among the dead
for euer: because he shal breake them puffed vp note without
voice, and shal remoue them from the fundations, and they
shal be made desolate vnto the highest degree: and shal be
moorning, and the memorie of them shal perish.
20 They shal
come feareful in cogitation of their sinnes, and their iniquities
on the contrarie shal conuince them.
