Translation:
[Meaning] righteous [ones], and upright [ones], and marvelous [ones].[1]
"[...] and good [men] are divine: for they have in themselves something like a god: but the bad [man is] godless. The godless [man] is of two kinds: the one who is called opposed to god and the one inclined to set divinity at naught -- not to be [divine] is altogether bad. The good are god-fearing: for they are experienced in the customs relating to god."[2]
