4. For if to others, indeed, they seem punished,yet is their hope full of immortality;
5. Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed,because God tried themand found them worthy of himself.
6. As gold in the furnace, he proved them,and as sacrificial offerings he took them to himself.
7. In the time of their judgment they shall shineand dart about as sparks through stubble;
8. They shall judge nations and rule over peoples,and the Lord shall be their King forever.
