¹⁴ What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?

³² For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

² Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.

¹³ Be silent, all flesh, before Yahweh; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation!"

⁴ The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, Even your visitation, has come; Now is the time of their confusion.

⁷ The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, And the man who is inspired to be insane, Because of the abundance of your sins, And because your hostility is great.

³ What will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will you flee for help? and where will you leave your glory?

² Don't enter into judgment with your servant, For in your sight no man living is righteous.

⁹ When God arose to judgment, To save all the afflicted ones of the earth. Selah.

²¹ Won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.

¹² Arise, Yahweh! God, lift up your hand! Don't forget the helpless.

¹³ Why does the wicked person condemn God, And say in his heart, "God won't call me into account?"

¹⁴ But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.

¹⁹ Arise, Yahweh! Don't let man prevail. Let the nations be judged in your sight.

¹² For he who avenges blood remembers them. He doesn't forget the cry of the afflicted.

⁶ Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

² I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me, Show me why you contend with me.

¹³ For judgment is without mercy to him who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
