English text

1 ...The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and there shall no torment touch them.

2 In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure is taken for misery,

3b ...but they are in peace.

4 For though they be punished in the sight of men, yet is their hope full of immortality.

5b ..for God ...[hath] found them worthy for himself.

7a And in the ...[day] of (their) visitation they shall shine...

8a They shall judge the nations, and have dominion over the people...
