Wisdom 4:12-15 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

12. For the bewitching of vanity obscureth good things, and the wandering of concupiscence overturneth the innocent mind.

13. Being made perfect in a short space, he fulfilled a long time:

14. For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts:

15. That the grace of God, and his mercy is with his saints, and that he hath respect to his chosen.
