Wisdom 4:9 In-Context

7 In contrast, those who have done what is right will be at rest, even if they die an early death.

8 Those who are old aren't honorable simply because time has passed. Old age isn't measured by counting up a person's years.

9 Wisdom and a spotless life are the marks of honorable maturity.

10 These people please God, are loved by God, and are taken away from living in the midst of sinners.

11 They are snatched away so that evil doesn't pervert their understanding and so that deception doesn't corrupt their souls.
