Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 4:12

βασκανία γὰρ φαυλότητος ἀμαυροῖ τὰ καλά, καὶ ρεμβασμὸς ἐπιθυμίας μεταλλεύει νοῦν ἄκακον.
King James Version (KJV)

For the bewitching of naughtiness doth obscure things that are honest; and the wandering of concupiscence doth undermine the simple mind.

Modern English

For the bewitching power of wickedness obscures what is good, and the restlessness of desire corrupts an innocent mind.
