Wisdom 4:11

11 Yea, speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.

Wisdom 4:11 In-Context

9 But wisdom is the gray hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.

10 He pleased God and was beloved by Him, so that, living amongst sinners, he was translated.

11 Yea, speedily was he taken away, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.

12 (For the bewitching of wickedness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.)

13 He, being made perfect in a short time, fulfilled a long time.
