Wisdom
chapter 1
1
Love
justice, you that are the judges of the earth. Think of the Lord in goodness,
and seek him in simplicity of heart.
2 For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he
sheweth himself to them that have faith in him.
3 For perverse thoughts seperate from God: and his
power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise:
4 For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor
dwell in a body subject to sins.
5 For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the
deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without
understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in.
6 For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not
acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he
is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
7 For the spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole
world: and that, which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice.
8 Therefore he that speaketh unjust things cannot be
hid, neither shall the chastising judgment pass him by.
9 For inquisition shall be made into the thoughts of
the ungodly: and the hearing of his words shall come to God, to the chastising
of his iniquities.
10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things, and the
tumult of murmuring shall not be hid.
11 Keep yourselves therefore from murmuring, which
profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure
speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul.
12 Seek not death in the error of your life, neither
procure ye destruction by the works of your hands.
13 For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in
the destruction of the living.
14 For he created all things that they might be: and he
made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction
in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth.
15 For justice is perpetual and immortal.
16 But the wicked with works and words have called it
to them: and esteeming it a friend have fallen away, and have made a covenant
with it: because they are worthy to be of the part thereof.
