Wisdom of Solomon 3:1-19 of 19 (KJV)

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

The Book of Wisdomor, Wisdom of Solomon.

{3:1} But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

{3:2} In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

{3:3} And their going from us to be utter destruction: but they are in peace.

{3:4} For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

{3:5} And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded: for God proved them, and found them worthy for himself.

{3:6} As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

{3:7} And in the time of their visitation they shall shine, and run to and fro like sparks among the stubble.

{3:8} They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

{3:9} They that put their trust in him shall understand the truth: and such as be faithful in love shall abide with him: for grace and mercy is to his saints, and he hath care for his elect.

{3:10} But the ungodly shall be punished according to their own imaginations, which have neglected the righteous, and forsaken the Lord.

{3:11} For whoso despiseth wisdom and nurture, he is miserable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, and their works unprofitable

{3:12} Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked:

{3:13} Their offspring is cursed. Wherefore blessed is the barren that is undefiled, which hath not known the sinful bed: she shall have fruit in the visitation of souls.

{3:14} And blessed is the eunuch, which with his hands hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things against God: for unto him shall be given the special gift of faith, and an inheritance in the temple of the Lord more acceptable to his mind.

{3:15} For glorious is the fruit of good labours: and the root of wisdom shall never fall away

{3:16} As for the children of adulterers, they shall not come to their perfection, and the seed of an unrighteous bed shall be rooted out.

{3:17} For though they live long, yet shall they be nothing regarded: and their last age shall be without honour.

{3:18} Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither comfort in the day of trial.

{3:19} For horrible is the end of the unrighteous generation.

Thanking God for teaching us his Word, Amen.
