14 and pleased the Lord.So he quickly took Enoch awayto protect him from evil.
15 Others failed to understandthat this is howGod shows kindness and mercyand protects his holy people.
16 Good people may die young,but they shame those sinnerswho live a long time.
17 Sinners fail to understandwhy God gives them a long lifeand lets the wise die young.
18 When they see this happen,they simply sneer.But God will laugh at thembecause their dead bodieswill be forever disgustingto the rest of the dead.
19 God will throw them speechlessto the ground, and they will belike buildings that crumble.They will suffer and rot,then be forgotten.
