Wisdom 1:4DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 4 of 16
"For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins."
In context
2For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him.
3For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise:
4For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins.
5For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in.
6For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
