Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 4:17

ὄψονται γὰρ τελευτὴν σοφοῦ καὶ οὐ νοήσουσι τί ἐβουλεύσατο περὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς τί ἠσφαλίσατο αὐτὸν ὁ Κύριος.
King James Version (KJV)

For they shall see the end of the wise, and shall not understand what God in his counsel hath decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath set him in safety.

Modern English

For onlookers will see the end of the wise man, without understanding what the Lord intended for him, or why he set him in safety.
