1 Enoch 102:6

In 1 translation

1En-Charles

And yet when ye die the sinners speak over you: ‘As we die, so die the righteous, And what benefit do they reap for their deeds?6-8. The Sadducean argument–the O.T. view of the retribution of the righteous in this life was interpreted as implying that men could be judged by their fortunes in this life, and that where there is no difference in this life there will be none in the next. Cf. Wisdom ii. 1-5, iii. 2-4; Eccles. ii. 14-16, iii. 19-21, etc.
