Wisdom 1:1-5

THE REWARD OF JUSTICE

Chapter 1.
Justice is the Key to Life
Love justice, you who judge the earth; think of the Lord in goodness, and seek him in integrity of heart;
2. because he is found by those who test him not, and he manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him,
3. For perverse counsels separate a man from God, and his power put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;
4. because into a soul that plots evils wisdom enters not, nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin.
5. For the holy spirit of discipline flees deceit and withdraws from senseless counsels; and when wickedness occurs it is rebuked.
