For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.
All Commentaries on Wisdom of Solomon 1:9 Go To Wisdom of Solomon 1
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Is God perhaps circumscribed by a place"he to whom every conscience is present, angelic and human, not only good but also evil? This distinction is truly important: whereas to good consciences he is present as Father, to bad consciences he is present as judge. In fact, it is written, "God judges the righteous and the ungodly." It is also written, "The thoughts of the ungodly will be examined." The Lord does not make himself heard to the ears of the body more strongly than he does in the secret of one"s thoughts, where he alone listens, where he alone is heard.
