Wisdom of Solomon 4:2
Thomson 1808
not in this edition
Brenton 1851
When it is present, men take example at it; and when it is gone, they desire it: it weareth a crown, and triumpheth for ever, having gotten the victory, striving for undefiled rewards.
Greek · Brenton
παροῦσάν τε μιμοῦνται αὐτὴν, καὶ ποθοῦσιν ἀπελθοῦσαν καὶ ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι στεφανηφοροῦσα πομπεύει, τὸν τῶν ἀμιάντων ἄθλων ἀγῶνα νικήσασα.
