Wisdom is a philanthropic spirit

 Wisdom 1: 6 - 10

IECOT translation (2019, Kohlhammer, Stuttgart):

For wisdom is a spirit, the friend

of humanity, but will not leave

unpunished the one who blasphemes

with his own lips, because God is

the witness of his feelings [Greek:

kidneys] and the true searcher of 

his heart and hears what the tongue

says.  For the spirit of the Lord

fills the earth and the one who

holds all things together knows

every voice.  Therefore no one 

who speaks unjust things can remain

hidden from him, and accusing

justice [Greek: di-ke]

will not pass him by without

notice.  For on the plots of the

ungodly an inquest will be opened,

the sound of his words will reach

the Lord, in condemnation of

his iniquities; because an ear full

of jealousy hears everything, not

even the whisper of murmurings

[see Exodus 15:24,   16:7  Numbers 14:2 +

17:6 ]   remains secret.
