2 The Lord will answer your prayers,if you trust and don't doubt.
3 Our deceitful thoughtsseparate us from God,and by putting God to the test,we make fools of ourselves,
4 because Wisdom won't livewith deceitful slaves of sin.
5 A pure mind and self-controlwon't let you be deceitful;you will reject foolish thoughtsand hate injustice.
6 Although Wisdom is friendly,she will still hold you guiltyif you speak evil of God.Even words spoken in secretand our most private thoughtsare known to God,
7 because the Spirit of the Lordis everywhere in this world.His Spirit holds it all togetherand hears every word.
8 And so liars will be judgedand then punished—
