Wisdom 5:1-6

1 Then the righteous man will stand with great confidence in the presence of those who have afflicted him, and those who make light of his labors.

2 When they see him, they will be shaken with dreadful fear, and they will be amazed at his unexpected salvation.

3 They will speak to one another in repentance, and in anguish of spirit they will groan, and say,

4 "This is the man whom we once held in derision and made a byword of reproach -- we fools! We thought that his life was madness and that his end was without honor.

5 Why has he been numbered among the sons of God? And why is his lot among the saints?

6 So it was we who strayed from the way of truth, and the light of righteousness did not shine on us, and the sun did not rise upon us.
