Wisdom 1:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴because wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul,
nor dwell in a body enslaved to sin.
⁵For 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.

⁶For wisdom is a kindly spirit and
will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words;
because God is witness of his inmost feelings,
and a true observer of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
