Wisdom 1:1-7
(1) Love justice, you who judge the land. Think of the Lord in goodness and seek him in simplicity of heart (2) For he is found by those who do not test him, yet he reveals himself to those who have faith in him (3) For perverse thoughts separate from God. But his virtue, when it is tested, corrects the foolish (4) For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subdued by sin (5) For the holy spirit of instruction will flee from falsehood, and he will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he will not be reached when iniquity overcomes (6) For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not release the evil speaker from his talk, because God is a witness of his temperament, and a true examiner of his heart, and an auditor of his words (7) For the spirit of the Lord has filled the world, and he who contains all things, retains knowledge of every voice
Psalms 139:1-10
(1) Unto the end. A Psalm of David (2) Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader (3) Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts (4) They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips (5) Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps (6) The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road (7) I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication (8) Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war (9) O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph (10) The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them
Luke 17:1-6
(1) And he said to his disciples: “It is impossible for scandals not to occur. But woe to him through whom they come (2) It would be better for him if a millstone were placed around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than to lead astray one of these little ones (3) Be attentive to yourselves. If your brother has sinned against you, correct him. And if he has repented, forgive him (4) And if he has sinned against you seven times a day, and seven times a day has turned back to you, saying, ‘I am sorry,’ then forgive him. (5) And the Apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith. (6) But the Lord said: “If you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you may say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted, and be transplanted into the sea.’ And it would obey you
