1 And I answered and said:
‘How can we forget those for whom woe is then reserved?
2 And why therefore do we again mourn for those who die?
Or why do we weep for those who depart to Sheol?
3 Let lamentations be reserved for the beginning of that coming torment,
And let tears be laid up for the advent of the destruction of that time.
4 [But even in the face of these things will I speak.
5 And as for the righteous, what will they do now?
6 Rejoice you in the suffering which you now suffer:
For why do you look for the decline of your enemies?
7 Make ready your soul for that which is reserved for you,
And prepare your souls for the reward which is laid up for you.’]
