DB1 | The fate of the wicked. Wis.4.16-20 | KNSB Contents | notes| 4 | katapi NEW STUDY BIBLE | Passage | Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
| 16 | The righteous man who had died will condemn the ungodly who are living, and youth that is quickly perfected will condemn the prolonged old age of the unrighteous man. | The fate of the wicked. Wis.4.16-20 | κατακρινεῖ δὲ δίκαιος καμὼν τοὺς ζῶντας ἀσεβεῖς, καὶ νεότης τελεσθεῖσα ταχέως πολυετὲς γῆρας ἀδίκου· |
| 17 | For they will see the end of the wise man, and will not understand what the Lord purposed for him, and for what he kept him safe. | ὄψονται γὰρ τελευτὴν σοφοῦ, καὶ οὐ νοήσουσιν τί ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰς τί ἠσφαλίσατο αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος. | |
| 18 | They will see, and will have contempt for him, but the Lord will laugh them to scorn. After this they will become dishonoured corpses, and an outrage among the dead for ever; | ὄψονται καὶ ἐξουθενήσουσιν· αὐτοὺς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐκγελάσεται, | |
| 19 | because he will dash them speechless to the ground, and shake them from the foundations; they will be left utterly dry and barren, and they will suffer anguish, and the memory of them will perish. | καὶ ἔσονται μετὰ τοῦτο εἰς πτῶμα ἄτιμον καὶ εἰς ὕβριν ἐν νεκροῖς δι' αἰῶνος, ὅτι ῥήξει αὐτοὺς ἀφώνους πρηνεῖς καὶ σαλεύσει αὐτοὺς ἐκ θεμελίων, καὶ ἕως ἐσχάτου χερσωθήσονται καὶ ἔσονται ἐν ὀδύνῃ, καὶ ἡ μνήμη αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται. | |
| 20 | They will come with dread when their sins are reckoned up, and their lawless deeds will convict them to their face. | ἐλεύσονται ἐν συλλογισμῷ ἁμαρτημάτων αὐτῶν δειλοί, καὶ ἐλέγξει αὐτοὺς ἐξ ἐναντίας τὰ ἀνομήματα αὐτῶν. | |
