Septuagint, Wisdom Of Solomon, 5.10-5.16
nan For if I hunger, unto Thee will I cry, O God; And Thou wilt give to me.
nan like a ship that sails through the billowy water,and when it has passed no trace can be found,nor track of its keel in the waves;
nan Birds and fish dost Thou nourish, In that Thou givest rain to the steppes that green grass may spring up, (So) to prepare fodder in the steppe for every living thing;
nan or as, when a bird flies through the air,no evidence of its passage is found;the light air, lashed by the beat of its pinions and pierced by the force of its rushing flight,is traversed by the movement of its wings,and afterward no sign of its coming is found there;
nan And if they hunger, unto Thee do they lift up their face.
nan or as, when an arrow is shot at a target,the air, thus divided, comes together at once,so that no one knows its pathway.
nan Kings and rulers and peoples Thou dost nourish, O God; And who is the help of the poor and needy, if not Thou, O Lord?
nan So we also, as soon as we were born, ceased to be,and we had no sign of virtue to show,but were consumed in our wickedness.
nan And Thou wilt hearken -for who is good and gentle but Thou?- Making glad the soul of the humble by opening Thine hand in mercy.
nan Because the hope of the ungodly man is like chaff carried by the wind,and like a light hoarfrost driven away by a storm;it is dispersed like smoke before the wind,and it passes like the remembrance of a guest who stays but a day.
nan Man’s goodness is (bestowed) grudgingly and …, And if he repeat (it) without murmuring, even that is marvellous.
nan But the righteous live for ever,and their reward is with the Lord;the Most High takes care of them.
nan But Thy gift is great in goodness and wealth, And he whose hope is (set) on Thee shall have no lack of gifts.
nan Therefore they will receive a glorious crown and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord,because with his right hand he will cover them,and with his arm he will shield them.

And the wisdom of the Lord of Spirits hath revealed him to the holy and righteous; For he hath preserved the lot of the righteous, Because they have hated and despised this world of unrighteousness, And have hated all its works and ways in the name of the Lord of Spirits: For in his name they are saved, And according to his good pleasure hath it been in regard to their life. 62.14. And the Lord of Spirits will abide over them, And with that Son of Man shall they eat And lie down and rise up for ever and ever. 62.15.

3. Septuagint, Wisdom of Solomon, 1.15, 5.5-5.8, 5.11-5.16 (2nd cent. BCE - 1st cent. BCE) 1.15. For righteousness is immortal. 5.5. Why has he been numbered among the sons of God?And why is his lot among the saints? 5.6. So it was we who strayed from the way of truth,and the light of righteousness did not shine on us,and the sun did not rise upon us. 5.7. We took our fill of the paths of lawlessness and destruction,and we journeyed through trackless deserts,but the way of the Lord we have not known. 5.8. What has our arrogance profited us?And what good has our boasted wealth brought us? 5.11. or as, when a bird flies through the air,no evidence of its passage is found;the light air, lashed by the beat of its pinions and pierced by the force of its rushing flight,is traversed by the movement of its wings,and afterward no sign of its coming is found there; 5.12. or as, when an arrow is shot at a target,the air, thus divided, comes together at once,so that no one knows its pathway. 5.13. So we also, as soon as we were born, ceased to be,and we had no sign of virtue to show,but were consumed in our wickedness. 5.14.

But the righteous live for ever,and their reward is with the Lord;the Most High takes care of them. 5.16. Therefore they will receive a glorious crown and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord,because with his right hand he will cover them,and with his arm he will shield them.
