Wisdom of Solomon 5 — GMV

5 Verse 1 Then shall the righteous man stand in great boldness ^{Verse 2} When they see it, they shall be troubled with terrible fear, ^{Verse 3} And they repenting and groaning for anguish of spirit ^{Verse 4} We fools accounted his life madness, ^{Verse 5} How is he numbered among the children of God, ^{Verse 6} Therefore have we erred from the way of truth, ^{Verse 7} We wearied ourselves in the way of wickedness and destruction: ^{Verse 8} What hath pride profited us? ^{Verse 9} All those things are passed away like a shadow, ^{Verse 10} And as a ship that passeth over the waves of the water, ^{Verse 11} Or as when a bird hath flown through the air, ^{Verse 12} Or like as when an arrow is shot at a mark, ^{Verse 13} Even so we in like manner, as soon as we were born, began to draw to our end, ^{Verse 14} For the hope of the ungodly is like dust that is blown away with the wind; ^{Verse 15} But the righteous live for evermore; ^{Verse 16} Therefore shall they receive a glorious kingdom, ^{Verse 17} He shall take to him his jealousy for complete armor, ^{Verse 18} He shall put on righteousness as a breastplate, ^{Verse 19} He shall take holiness for an invincible shield. ^{Verse 20} His severe wrath shall he sharpen for a sword, ^{Verse 21} Then shall the right aiming thunderbolts go abroad; ^{Verse 22} And hailstones full of wrath shall be cast as out of a stone bow, ^{Verse 23} Yea, a mighty wind shall stand up against them,
