5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded; for God proved them, and found them worthy for Himself.

Wisdom 3:5 In-Context

3 and their going from us to be utter destruction; but they are in peace.

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

5 And having been a little chastised, they shall be greatly rewarded; for God proved them, and found them worthy for Himself.

6 As gold in the furnace hath He tried them, and received them as a burnt offering.

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