"... In Judaism, however, with the firmly established belief in individual providence and individual reward and punishment, both resurrection and immortality are considered as acts of individual providence, coming to each individual as a reward or a punishment for his actions. With regard to resurrection, it is definitely stated that certain types of wicked persons will not be resurrected. With regard to immortality, those in Judaism who have adopted this belief similarly speak of it as a reward reserved only for the righteous but denied to the wicked. Thus in the Wisdom of Solomon, in contrast to the righteous, of whom the author says that their 'hope is full of immortality,' he says of the wicked that 'void is their hope,' and in contrast to virtue the 'memory' of which, he says, 'is immortality,' he says again of the wicked that 'their memory shall perish,' though he figuratively speaks also of their being 'in grief.' So also the Palestinian author of the Psalms of Solomon, quite evidently speaking only of immortality, says that 'the inheritance of sinners is destruction and darkness,' (Psalms of Solomon 15:11) 'the sinner shall perish forever,', and 'when I was far from God, my soul had been wellnigh poured out into death.' ..."
