4 katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE Passage Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint)

10There was one who pleased God and was loved by him,
and while living among sinners he was taken up.
Enoch. Wis.4.10-15
11He was caught up lest evil change his understanding
or guile deceive his soul.
 
12For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good,
and roving desire perverts the innocent mind.
 
13Being perfected in a short time, he fulfilled long years;
 
14for his soul was pleasing to the Lord,
therefore he took him quickly from the midst of wickedness.
 
15Yet the peoples saw and did not understand,
nor take such a thing to heart,
that God's grace and mercy are with his elect,
and he watches over his holy ones.
