Wisdom 1: 1 - 7 | |
1 | Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth, think of the Lord with uprightness, and seek him with sincerity of heart; |
2 | because he is found by those who do not put him to the test, and manifests himself to those who do not distrust him. |
3 | For perverse thoughts separate men from God, and when his power is tested, it convicts the foolish; |
4 | because wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul, nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin. |
5 | For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee from deceit, and will rise and depart from foolish thoughts, and will be ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness. |
6 | For wisdom is a kindly spirit and will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words; because God is witness of his inmost feelings, and a true observer of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. |
7 | Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the world, and that which holds all things together knows what is said; |
