Wisdom:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Love righteousness ,
ye that be judges of the earth :
think of the Lord with a good (
heart ,)
and in simplicity of heart seek him .
*
For he will be found of them that tempt him not ;
and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him .
*
For froward thoughts separate from God :
and his power ,
when it is tried ,
reproveth the unwise .
*
For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter ;
nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin .
*
For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit ,
and remove from thoughts that are without understanding ,
and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in .
*
For wisdom is a loving spirit ;
and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words :
for God is witness of his reins ,
and a true beholder of his heart ,
and a hearer of his tongue .
*
For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world :
and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice .
*
Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid :
neither shall vengeance ,
when it punisheth ,
pass by him .
*
For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly :
and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds .
*
For the ear of jealousy heareth all things :
and the noise of murmurings is not hid .
*
Therefore beware of murmuring ,
which is unprofitable ;
and refrain your tongue from backbiting :
for there is no word so secret ,
that shall go for nought :
and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul .
*
Seek not death in the error of your life :
and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands .
*
For God made not death :
neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living .
*
For he created all things ,
that they might have their being :
and the generations of the world were healthful ;
and there is no poison of destruction in them ,
nor the kingdom of death upon the earth :
* (
For righteousness is immortal :)
*
But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them :
for when they thought to have it their friend ,
they consumed to nought ,
and made a covenant with it ,
because they are worthy to take part with it .
