And thus equipped, she shall rejoice in time to come; or, she laugheth (; ) at the future (). She is not disquieted by any fear of what may happen, knowing in whom she trusts, and having done her duty to the utmost of her ability.

The Greek and Latin versions seem to take the expression as referring to the day of death; thus the Vulgate, Ridebit in die novissimo; Septuagint, "She rejoices in the last days ( ἐν ἡμέραις ἐσχάταις)."
