WISDOM 1...1/ Love justice, you who judge the earth; think of the LORD in goodness, and seek him in integrity of heart;
2/ Because he is found by those who test him not, and he manifests himself to those who do not disbelieve him.
3/ For perverse counsels separate a man from God, and his power, put to the proof, rebukes the foolhardy;
4/ Because into a soul that plots evil wisdom enters not, nor dwells she in a body under debt of sin.
5/ For the holy spirit of discipline flees deceit and withdraws from senseless counsels; and when injustice occurs it is rebuked.
6/ For wisdom is a kindly spirit, yet she acquits not the blasphemer of his guilty lips; Because God is the witness of his inmost self and the sure observer of his heart and the listener to his tongue.
7/ For the spirit of the LORD fills the world, is all-embracing, and knows what man says.
8/ Therefore no one who utters wicked things can go unnoticed, nor will chastising condemnation pass him by.
9/ For the devices of the wicked man shall be scrutinized, and the sound of his words shall reach the LORD, for the chastisement of his transgressions;
10/ Because a jealous ear hearkens to everything, and discordant grumblings are no secret.
11/ Therefore guard against profitless grumbling, and from calumny withhold your tongues; For a stealthy utterance does not go unpunished, and a lying mouth slays the soul.
12/ Court not death by your erring way of life, nor draw to yourselves destruction by the works of your hands.
13/ Because God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.
14/ For he fashioned all things that they might have being; and the creatures of the world are wholesome, And there is not a destructive drug among them nor any domain of the nether world on earth,
15/ For justice is undying.
16/ It was the wicked who with hands and words invited death, considered it a friend, and pined for it, and made a covenant with it, Because they deserve to be in its possession,
WISDOM! The WISDOM of *GOD* is that, which, we SHOULD seek, but, without knowledge of *GOD*, how can we seek it?!? Not mere knowledge of HIS existence, but, knowledge of HIS being, as best as we can know, or, understand it, through HIS WORD, which, depicts HIS WILL, which, IS THAT we are to pattern our lives after, for HE, ALONE, IS the giver of life, and, the total provision, therein!!!
Moral QUALITY is what *GOD* seeks in HIS people! People whom, have embraced the understanding of the innate NEED for morality, justice, discipline, obedience, and, compliance TO *GOD*, KNOWING that, IN, and, THROUGH HIM, comes ALL benevolence; benevolence which is pleasing, lasting, and, fulfilling, NOT empty, like those of the world!!!
Too, WISDOM is the embodiment of BELIEF in LOVE, GOODNESS, WHOLESOMENESS, and, what is POSITIVE, then, ACTING in these quality characteristics, because, such IS the enrichment of ALL in existence, which, expounds, and, flourishes, upon itself, granting more, and, more quality, to existence itself! It is the evil, and, wickedness, which, creates discord, in the whole of what is RIGHT, and, GOOD, though, it is vainly done so, as what is RIGHT, and, GOOD, is WHOLE, COMPLETE, UNENDING, and, WITHOUT fail, yet, evil, does have the purpose of sorting through, and exposing itself, then, as light, shine, those of *GOD*!!!
It is written, and, repeated, Seek the WISDOM of *GOD*, above all things, as, it IS the window of the HEAVENS, opened, that HIS BLESSINGS, guidance, direction, assistance, LOVE, and, all provision, flow, readily through, for those who seek HIM, with ALL of their being!!!
