³ If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

² And enter not into judgment with Thy servant, For no one living is justified before Thee.

⁷ Thou, fearful `art' Thou, And who doth stand before Thee, Since Thou hast been angry!

¹⁴ If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me,

¹⁷ because come did the great day of His anger, and who is able to stand?

²⁰ wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

²¹ And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

²² and the righteousness of God `is' through the faith of Jesus Christ to all, and upon all those believing, -- for there is no difference,

²³ for all did sin, and are come short of the glory of God --

²⁴ being declared righteous freely by His grace through the redemption that `is' in Christ Jesus,

⁷ and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;'

⁸ and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

⁹ and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

² And who is bearing the day of his coming? And who is standing in his appearing? For he `is' as fire of a refiner, And as soap of a fuller.

⁶ Before His indignation who doth stand? And who riseth up in the heat of His anger? His fury hath been poured out like fire, And the rocks have been broken by Him.

⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all.

¹⁴ What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

²⁰ If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.

² Truly I have known that `it is' so, And what -- is man righteous with God?

³ If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him one of a thousand.
