6. For wisdom is a spirit that loves man, And she will not hold a blasphemer guiltless for his lips; Because God bears witness of his reins, And is a true overseer of his heart, And a hearer of his tongue:
7. Because the spirit of the Lord has filled the world, And that which holds all things together has knowledge of every voice.
8. Therefore no man that utters unrighteous things shall be unseen; Neither shall Justice, when it convicts, pass him by.
9. For in the midst of his counsels the ungodly shall be searched out; And the sound of his words shall come to the Lord To bring to conviction his lawless deeds:
10. Because there is an ear of jealousy that listens to all things, And the noise of murmurings is not hid.
11. Beware then of unprofitable murmuring, And refrain your tongue from backbiting; Because no secret utterance shall go on its way void, And a mouth that belies destroys a soul.
12. Court not death in the error of your life; Neither draw upon yourselves destruction by the works of your hands:
13. Because God made not death; Neither delights he when the living perish:
14. For he created all things that they might have being: And the generative powers of the world are healthsome, And there is no poison of destruction in them: Nor has Hades royal dominion upon earth,
15. For righteousness is immortal:
