Wisdom 3:8-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

8. They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever.

9. They that trust in him, shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love shall rest in him: for grace and peace is to his elect.

10. But the wicked shall be punished according to their own devices: who have neglected the just, and have revolted from the Lord.

11. For he that rejecteth wisdom, and discipline, is unhappy: and their hope is vain, and their labours without fruit, and their works unprofitable.

12. Their wives are foolish, and their children wicked.

13. Their offspring is cursed: for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin: she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls.
