¹⁴ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.

⁷ Now therefore let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with Jehovah our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.

⁴ The Rock, his work is perfect; For all his ways are justice: A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, Just and right is he.

¹⁷ Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, And gracious in all his works.

¹⁵ To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

³ Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?

⁷ And I heard the altar saying, Yea, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

¹⁰ Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

¹¹ For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.

¹² Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

²⁵ That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

³ And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty; righteous and true are thy ways, thou King of the ages.

⁴ Who shall not fear, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy; for all the nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy righteous acts have been made manifest.

⁵ But if our righteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath? (I speak after the manner of men.)

⁶ God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

¹ What advantage then hath the Jew? or what is the profit of circumcision?

⁵ but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

¹ Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

² Thinkest thou this to be `thy' right, `Or' sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God's,

¹⁸ `Him' that saith to a king, `Thou art' vile, `Or' to nobles, `Ye are' wicked;

¹⁹ That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
