1. But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them.
2. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery:
3. And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace.
4. And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, their hope is full of immortality.
5. Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.
