God is the Witness

 Wisdom 1:6

God is here called witness [GREEK: martus]

(see also Genesis 31:44 and Jeremiah 29:23 MT).

God is also episkopos / true or rigorous

searcher or inspector of the heart/conscience.

only in Job 20:29 is God called episkopos.

Wisdom 1:7 

Spirit fills the entire inhabited earth [Oikoumene]

-- term that can expand to the entire world, the

universe.

Elsewhere in the Wisdom books only at Proverbs

1:23 does the Holy Spirit appear in connection

with wisdom;  see also Prophet Joel 3:1.

Heart and kidneys are also paired in

Psalms 7:10  25:2  72:21  Jeremiah 11:20  17:20

20:12
