Wisdom 1:3

3 Dishonest thoughts separate people from God, and if we are foolish enough to test him, his power will put us to shame.

Wisdom 1:3 In-Context

1 Love justice, you rulers of the world. Set your minds sincerely on the Lord, and look for him with all honesty.
2 Those who do not try to test him will find him; he will show himself to those who trust him.
3 Dishonest thoughts separate people from God, and if we are foolish enough to test him, his power will put us to shame.
4 Wisdom will never be at home with anyone who is deceitful or a slave of sin.
5 Everyone who is holy has learned to stay away from deceitful people. He will not stay around when foolish thoughts are being expressed; he will not feel comfortable when injustice is done.
