Chapter 1

1

LOVE righteousness, ye that be judges of the earth: think of Yahuah with a good heart, and in simplicity of heart seek him.

2

For he will be found of them that tempt him not; and shows himself unto such as do not distrust him.

3

For froward thoughts separate from Elohiym: and his power, when it is tried, reproves 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 ruach ha'qodesh of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness comes in.

6

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

7

For the Ruach Yahuah fills the world: and that which contains all things has knowledge of the voice.

8

Therefore he that speaks unrighteous things cannot be hid: neither shall vengeance, when it punishes, pass by him.

9

For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of wicked men: and the sound of his words shall come unto Yahuah for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.

10

For the ear of jealousy hears 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 belies slays 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 Elohiym made not death: neither has 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 wicked men with their works and words called it to them: for when they thought to have it their friend, they consumed to nought, and cut a covenant with it, because they are worthy to take part with it.
