| Wisdom 1:5
| For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in.
| Discipline. The instructive light of the Holy Ghost. --- Understanding. Those who deny God or Providence, (Calmet) and lead a wicked life, are abandoned. (Haydock) --- Not abide. Elegchthesetai: "He shall be connected or manifested," shewing that he will not acquit the guilty, ver. 6. (Menochius) --- When Solomon fell, his wisdom ceased. Iniquity soon betrays itself. (Calmet)
