The Wisdom of Solomon 1:7-11


[7] Because the Spirit of the Lord has filled the world,
and that which holds all things together knows what is said;
[8] therefore no one who utters unrighteous things 

will escape notice,
and justice, when it punishes, will not pass him by.
[9] For inquiry will be made into the counsels of an ungodly man,
and a report of his words will come to the Lord,
to convict him of his lawless deeds;
[10] because a jealous ear hears all things,
and the sound of murmurings does not go unheard.
[11] Beware then of useless murmuring,
and keep your tongue from slander;
because no secret word is without result,
and a lying mouth destroys the soul.
