Wisdom 4:14

14 For his soul pleased the Lord; therefore hastened He to take him away from among the wicked.

Wisdom 4:14 In-Context

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.

14 For his soul pleased the Lord; therefore hastened He to take him away from among the wicked.

15 This the people saw and understood it not, neither laid they up this in their minds: that His grace and mercy is with His saints, and that He hath respect unto His chosen.

16 Thus the righteous that is dead shall condemn the ungodly who are living; and youth that is soon perfected, the many years and old age of the unrighteous.
