Wisdom 3:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

⁶ As 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.

⁷ The just shall shine, and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds.
