An Inspiration Of Time With God For Today

Mankind reasoned and they were led astray. Cf. Wisdom 2:21 A

Life as the Ungodly See It

The ungodly by their words and deeds summoned death;

considering him a friend, they pined away

and made a covenant with him

because they are fit to belong to his company.

For they reasoned unsoundly, saying to themselves,

“Short and sorrowful is our life

and there is no remedy when a life comes to its end

and no one has been known to return from Hades (Hell).

For we were born by mere chance

and hereafter we shall be as though we had never been,

for the breath in our nostrils is smoke

and reason is a spark kindled by the beating of our hearts;

when it is extinguished, the body will turn to ashes

and the spirit will dissolve like empty air.

Our name will be forgotten in time

and no one will remember our works;

our life will pass away like the traces of a cloud

and be scattered like mist

that is chased by the rays of the sun

and overcome by its heat.

For our allotted time is the passing of a shadow

and there is no return from our death

because it is sealed up and no one turns back.”


“Come, therefore let us enjoy the good things that exist

and make use of the creation to the full as in youth.

Let us take our fill of costly wine and perfumes

and let no flower of spring pass us by.

Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they wither.

Let none of us fail to share in our revelry;

everywhere let us leave signs of enjoyment

because this is our portion and this is our lot.

Let us oppress the righteous poor man;

let us not spare the widow

or regard the gray hairs of the aged.

Let our might be our law of right

for what is weak proves itself to be useless.”


“Let us lie in wait for the righteous man (Jesus)

because He is inconvenient to us and opposes our actions;

He reproaches us for sins against our training.

He professes to have knowledge of God

and calls Himself a child of the Lord.

He became to us a reproof of our thoughts;

the very sight of Him is a burden to us

because His manner of life is unlike that of others

and His ways are strange.

We are considered by Him as something base

and He avoids our ways as unclean;

He calls the last end of the righteous happy

and boasts that God is His Father.

Let us see if His Words are true

and let us test what will happen at the end of His life;

For if the righteous Man is God’s Child, He will help Him

and will deliver Him from the hand of His adversaries.

Let us test Him with insult and torture,

so that we may find out how gentle He is

and make trial of His forbearance.

Let us condemn Him to a shameful death,

for, according to what He says, He will be protected.”

Error of the Wicked

Thus they reasoned but they were led astray

for their wickedness blinded them

and they did not know the secret purposes of God,

nor hoped for the wages of Holiness

nor discerned the prize for blameless souls;

For God created us for incorruption

and made us in the image of His own eternity

but through the devil’s (Satan) envy death entered to world

and those who belong to his company experience it.  –Wisdom 1:16; 2:1-24
