O ye, who upon earth decrees judgment.
Find in righteousness always thy love.
Seek sensibly the Lord’s intentions.
Approach Him with simplicity of heart.
Unjust thoughts detach one from the Father.
Unto these souls true wisdom shall not come.
Dwell not amidst these evil ranks much longer.
Sinful flesh shall from prudence be bereft.
Wisdom is like a man-loving spirit.
Never innocent are slanderous lips.
Towards kidneys too the Lord’s a witness.
The tongue He hears, the heart He sees.
From thoughts unwise the Spirit too departs.
The rebuking starts when iniquity comes.
From deceit indeed the Spirit too shall flee.
And punitive vengeance shalt be justly decreed.
