Wisdom 1:4
Douay-Rheims
For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins.
Glossa Ordinaria
Because into a malevolent, etc. That is, into the animal man, according to that saying: The animal man does not perceive, etc. And therefore he did not say the spirit, that is, the spiritual soul. In vain do philosophers, and heretics, and false Christians flatter themselves. For only the clean of heart can receive the wisdom of God.
