Liber Sapientiae

Sapientiae, chapter 1 in the Vulgate version.

There is no KJV of Wisdom, but it does appear in the Apocrypha, as shown below.

Chapter 1

Vulgate


   1 Diligite iustitiam, qui iudicatis terram, sentite de Domino in bonitate et in simplicitate cordis quaerite illum,
   2 quoniam invenitur ab his, qui non tentant illum, se autem manifestat eis, qui fidem habent in illum.
   3 Perversae enim cogitationes separant a Deo, probata autem virtus corripit insipientes.
   4 Quoniam in malevolam animam non introibit sapientia nec habitabit in corpore subdito peccatis.
   5 Spiritus enim sanctus disciplinae effugiet fictum et auferet se a cogitationibus insensatis et corripietur a superveniente iniquitate.
   6 Spiritus enim diligens hominem est sapientia et non absolvet maledicum a labiis suis, quoniam renum illius testis est Deus et cordis illius scrutator verus et linguae eius auditor;
   7 quoniam spiritus Domini replevit orbem terrarum, et ipse, qui continet omnia, scientiam habet vocis.
   8 Propter hoc, qui loquitur iniqua, non potest latere, nec praeteriet illum iudicium corripiens.
   9 In cogitationibus enim impii interrogatio erit, sermonum autem illius auditio ad Dominum veniet ad correptionem iniquitatum illius;
   10 quoniam auris zeli audit omnia, et tumultus murmurationum non absconditur.
   11 Custodite ergo vos a murmuratione, quae nihil prodest, et a detractione parcite linguae, quoniam sermo absconditus in vacuum non ibit; os autem, quod mentitur, occidit animam.
   12 Nolite zelare mortem in errore vitae vestrae neque acquiratis perditionem in operibus manuum vestrarum,
   13 quoniam Deus mortem non fecit nec laetatur in perditione vivorum;
   14 creavit enim, ut essent omnia, et sanabiles sunt generationes orbis terrarum, et non est in illis medicamentum exterminii, nec inferorum regnum in terra:
   15 iustitia enim est immortalis.
   16 Impii autem manibus et verbis accersierunt illam; aestimantes illam amicam defluxerunt et sponsionem posuerunt ad illam, quoniam digni sunt, qui sint ex parte illius.

Apocrypha


   1 Love righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of the Lord with a good (heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him.
   2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and sheweth himself unto such as do not distrust him.
   3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.
   4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.
   5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in.
   6 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.
   7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.
   8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punisheth, pass by him.
   9 For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.
   10 For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.
   11 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.
   12 Seek not death in the error of your life: and pull not upon yourselves destruction with the works of your hands.
   13 For God made not death: neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living.
   14 For he created all things, that they might have their being: and the generations of the world were healthful; and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the earth:
   15 (For righteousness is immortal:)
   16 But ungodly men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and made a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.
