Wisdom 1:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him.

³ For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise:

⁴ For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins.
