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.
