Wisdom 1:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 For the holy spirit of discipline[a] flees deceit
and withdraws from senseless counsels
and is rebuked when unrighteousness occurs.(A)
6 For wisdom is a kindly spirit,
yet she does not acquit blasphemous lips;
Because God is the witness of the inmost self(B)
and the sure observer of the heart
and the listener to the tongue.(C)
7 For the spirit of the Lord fills the world,(D)
is all-embracing, and knows whatever is said.
