Wisdom 1:6-9

Good News Translation

God Is Aware of What We Say

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. ⁷ Since the Lord's spirit fills the entire world, and holds everything in it together, she knows every word that people say. ⁸ No one who speaks wickedly will escape notice; sooner or later he will receive just punishment. ⁹ The intentions of ungodly people will be closely examined; their words will be reported to the Lord, and then they will get the punishment that their wickedness deserves.
