Wisdom 18:1-3 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. But your holy ones had very great light;And those others, who heard their voices but did not see their forms,counted them blest for not having suffered;

2. And because they who formerly had been wronged did not harm them, they thanked them,and because of the difference between them, pleaded with them.

3. Instead of this, you furnished the flaming pillar,a guide on the unknown way,and the mild sun for an honorable migration.
