Chukmah Shalumah (Wisdom of Solomon) — 1

Exhortation to Uprightness

1 Love righteousness, you rulers of the Arath, think of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH with uprightness, and seek 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH with sincerity of heart;

2 because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is found by those who do not put Him to the test, and He manifests himself to those who do not distrust Him.

3 For perverse thoughts separate men from 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and when His power is tested, it convicts the foolish;

4 because wisdom will not enter a deceitful soul, or dwell in a body enslaved to sin.

5 For a Qadash and disciplined Ruach will flee from deceit, and will rise and depart from foolish thoughts, and will be ashamed at the approach of unrighteousness.

6 For wisdom is a kindly Ruach and will not free a blasphemer from the guilt of his words; because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is the witness of his inmost feelings, and a true observer of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

7 Because the RUACH of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has filled the world, and that which holds all things together knows what is said;

8 therefore no one who utters unrighteous things will escape to be noticed and justice, when it punishes, will not pass him by.

9 For inquiry will be made into the counsels of an unrighteous man, and a report of his words will come to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH, and he will be convicted of his lawless deeds;

10 because a jealous ear hears all things, and the sound of murmurings does not go unheard.

11 Beware then of useless murmuring, and keep your tongue from slander; because no secret word is without result, and a lying mouth destroys the soul.

12 Do not invite death by the error of your life, or bring on destruction by the works of your hands;

13 because 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH did not make death, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH does not delight in the death of the living.

14 For 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH created all things that they might exist, and the generative forces of the world are wholesome, and there is no destructive poison in them; and the dominion of Hades is not on the Arath.

15 For righteousness is immortal.

16 But unrighteous men by their words and deeds summoned death; considering death a friend, they pined away, and they made a covenant with death, because they are fit to belong to death party.
