Wisdom 5:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ The hope of the godless is like chaff carried on the wind,
    and like sea spray swept before a storm;
it is dissipated like smoke confronted by the wind,
    and it passes away like the memory of a guest who stays but a single day.
¹⁵ But the righteous live forever,
    and their recompense is with the Lord;^[a]
    the Most High provides for them.
¹⁶ Therefore, they will receive a glorious crown
    and a splendid diadem from the hand of the Lord.
For he will shelter them with his right hand
    and shield them with his arm.
