In the hand of God
The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever,
touch them. In the eyes of the foolish they seem to have died, and their
departure was thought to be a disaster, and their going from us to be their
destruction; but they are at peace. For though in the sight of others they
were punished, their hope is full of immortality. Having been disciplined a
little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them
worthy of himself; those who trust in him will understand truth, and the
faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his
holy ones, and he watches over his elect.
