Wisdom 1:1-3

Revised Standard Version

1 Love righteousness, you rulers of the earth,
think of the Lord with uprightness,
and seek him with sincerity of heart;
² because he is found by those who do not put him to the test,
and manifests himself to those who do not distrust him.
³ For perverse thoughts separate men from God,
and when his power is tested, it convicts the foolish;
