Wisdom of Solomon 1:3
King James VersionSource notes
“For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.”
Context
1Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.
2For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.
3For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
4For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
5For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.
6For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
