Wisdom 1:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² For he is found of them, that tempt not him; forsooth he appeareth to them, that have faith into him. [For he is found of them, that tempt him not; he appeareth forsooth to them, that faith have in him.] (For he is found by those, who do not tempt him; he appeareth to those, who have faith in him.)

³ For why wayward thoughts part (one) from God; but proved virtue reproveth unwise men. [Shrewd (or depraved) forsooth thoughts sever from God; proved forsooth virtue chastiseth unwise men.]

⁴ For why wisdom shall not enter into an evil-willed soul; neither it shall dwell in a body subject to sins. [For into an evil-willing soul shall not go in wisdom; nor shall dwell in a body subject to sins.]
