Wisdom 3:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ They were disciplined a little, but they will be rewarded with abundant good things, because God tested them and found that they deserve to be with him. ⁶ He tested them like gold in the furnace; he accepted them like an entirely burned offering. ⁷ Then, when the time comes for judgment, the godly will burst forth and run about like fiery sparks among dry straw.
