Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 1:6

φιλάνθρωπον γὰρ πνεῦμα σοφία καὶ οὐκ ἀθῳώσει βλάσφημον ἀπὸ χειλέων αὐτοῦ· ὅτι τῶν νεφρῶν αὐτοῦ μάρτυς ὁ Θεὸς καὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ ἐπίσκοπος ἀληθὴς καὶ τῆς γλώσσης ἀκουστής·
King James Version (KJV)

For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

Modern English

Wisdom is a spirit that loves humanity, yet it will not excuse a blasphemer for what he says, since God witnesses his innermost thoughts, truly observes his heart, and hears his every word.
