Love justice, you rulers of the world. Set your minds sincerely on the Lord, and look for him with all honesty. 1

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.
6
Wisdom is a spirit that is friendly to people, but she will not forgive anyone who speaks against God, for God knows our feelings and thoughts, and hears our every word.
