In the notes of the New American Bible from the 1970s on chapter one of Wisdom it says:
“Justice; not merely the cardinal virtue of that name, but the universal moral quality which is the application of Wisdom to moral conduct.”

They did not explain how or from where that idea comes. ANY HELP?

THANKS!

In the current version of the NAB, on the USCCB web site, they’ve replaced ‘Justice’ with ‘righteousness’. Perhaps they, too, recognized that there was a more precise way to state what they’d intended… 🤷
 
Hi, Jim

From Genesis 18 (Abraham pleading to spare Sodom) to Matthew 1:19 (Joseph, being just) the word just is used with reference to moral righteousness.
