Wisdom 3:4LXX

2In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery:

3And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace.

4And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.

5Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.

6As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, and in time there shall be respect had to them.
