Wisdom 4:13-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
13 Having become perfect in a short while,
he reached the fullness of a long career;
14 for his soul was pleasing to the Lord,
therefore he sped him out of the midst of wickedness.(A)
But the people saw and did not understand,
nor did they take that consideration into account.[a]
