katapi HOME Wisdom of Solomon 1:1-5 - WISDOM. The search for justice.  Wis.1.1-5
1 1 Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth,
think of the Lord with uprightness,
and seek him with sincerity of heart;
1 2 because he is found by those who do not put him to the test,
and manifests himself to those who do not distrust him.
1 3 For perverse thoughts separate men from God,
and when his power is tested, it convicts the foolish;
1 4 because wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul,
nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin.
1 5 For a holy and disciplined spirit will flee from deceit,
and will rise and depart from foolish thoughts,
and will be ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness.
