KJB-1611 WIS Chapter 1

0 2 To whom God sheweth himselfe, 4 and Wisedome herselfe. 6 An euill speaker can not lie hid. 12 We procure our owne destruction: 13 for God created not death. I ¶ Loue [fn]righteousnesse, yee that be iudges of the earth: thinke of the Lord with a good (heart) and in simplicitie of heart seeke him. 2 For hee will bee found of them that tempt him not: and sheweth himselfe vnto such as doe not [fn]distrust him. 3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power when it is tryed, [fn]reprooueth the vnwise. 4 For into a malitious soule wisedome shall not enter: nor dwell in the body that is subiect vnto sinne. 5 [fn]For the holy spirit of discipline will flie deceit, & remoue from thoughts that are without vnderstanding: and will not [fn]abide when vnrighteousnesse commeth in. 6 For wisedome is a [fn]louing spirit: and will not acquite a blasphemour of his [fn]words: for God is witnesse of his reines, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. 7 For the spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which [fn]containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice. 8 Therefore he that speaketh vnrighteous things, cannot be hid: neither shal vengeance, when it punisheth. passe by him. 9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the vngodly: and the sound of his words, shall come vnto the Lord, for the [fn]manifestation of his wicked deedes. 10 For the eare of iealousie heareth al things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid. 11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is vnprofitable, and refraine your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret that shall goe for nought: and the mouth that [fn]belieth, slayeth the soule. 12 Seeke not death in the errour of your life: and pull not vpon your selues [fn]destruction, with the workes of your hands. 13 For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the liuing. 14 For he created all things, that they might haue their being: and the generations of the world were healthfull: and there is no poyson of destruction in them: nor the kingdome of death vpon the earth. 15 For righteousnesse is immortall. 16 But vngodly men with their workes, and words called it to them: for when they thought to haue it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a couenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.
