Love righteousness, all you who are judges of the earth.

Think of the Lord(a)1:1 Gr. in goodness. with a good mind.

Seek him in singleness of heart,Isa 56:1

because he is found by those who don’t put him to the test,

and is manifested to those who trust him.Deu 4:29; 2Ch 15:4

for crooked thoughts separate from God.

His Power convicts when it is tested,

and exposes the foolish;Isa 59:2

because wisdom will not enter into a soul that devises evil,

nor dwell in a body that is enslaved by sin.Ecc 2:26

For a holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit,

and will depart from thoughts that are without understanding,

and will be ashamed when unrighteousness has come in.Jer 43:2

For(b)1:6 Some authorities read the spirit of wisdom is loving to man. wisdom is a spirit who loves man,

and she will not hold a(c)1:6 Or, reviler blasphemer guiltless for his lips,

because God is witness of his inmost self,

and is a true overseer of his heart,

and a hearer of his tongue.Tit 3:4; Psa 7:9; Jer 20:12

Because the spirit of the Lord has filled(d)1:7 Gr. the inhabited earth. the world,

and that which holds all things together knows what is said.Psa 139:7

Therefore no one who utters unrighteous things will be unseen;

neither will Justice, when it convicts, pass him by.Jer 4:18

For in his counsels the ungodly will be searched out,

and the sound of his words will come to the Lord to bring his lawless deeds to conviction;Ecc 3:17; Mat 12:36

because a jealous ear listens to all things,

and the noise of murmurings is not hidden.Exo 20:5

Beware then of unprofitable murmuring,

and keep your tongue from slander;

because no secret utterance will go on its way void,

and a lying mouth destroys a soul.1Co 10:10; 2Co 12:20

Don’t court death in the error of your life.

Don’t draw destruction upon yourselves by the works of your hands;Deu 4:23

because God didn’t make death,

neither does he delight when the living perish.Ezk 18:32

For he created all things that they might have being.

The generative powers of the world are wholesome,

and there is no poison of destruction in them,

nor has Hades(e)1:14 Or, a royal house royal dominion upon earth;Gen 1:31; Sir 39:21

for righteousness is immortal,

but ungodly men by their hands and their words summon death;

deeming him a friend they(f)1:16 Or, were consumed with love of him pined away.

They made a covenant with him,

because they are worthy to belong with him.Isa 28:15; Wis 18:4
