Wisdom 1:3-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. For perverse counsels separate people from God,and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;

4. Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom does not enter,nor does she dwell in a body under debt of sin.

5. For the holy spirit of discipline flees deceitand withdraws from senseless counselsand is rebuked when unrighteousness occurs.

6. For wisdom is a kindly spirit,yet she does not acquit blasphemous lips;Because God is the witness of the inmost selfand the sure observer of the heartand the listener to the tongue.

7. For the spirit of the Lord fills the world,is all-embracing, and knows whatever is said.

8. Therefore those who utter wicked things will not go unnoticed,nor will chastising condemnation pass them by.

9. For the devices of the wicked shall be scrutinized,and the sound of their words shall reach the Lord,for the chastisement of their transgressions;
