6
For wisdom is a kindly spirit and will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words; because God is witness of his inmost feelings, and a true observer of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
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.
