Wisdom 1:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 For perverse counsels separate people from God,
and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;(A)
4 [a]Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom does not enter,
nor does she dwell in a body under debt of sin.(B)
5 For the holy spirit of discipline[b] flees deceit
and withdraws from senseless counsels
and is rebuked when unrighteousness occurs.(C)
