¹⁴ What, then, shall we say? unrighteousness `is' with God? let it not be!

⁷ and now, let fear of Jehovah be upon you, observe and do, for there is not with Jehovah our God perverseness, and acceptance of faces, and taking of a bribe.'

⁴ The Rock! -- perfect `is' His work, For all His ways `are' just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright `is' He.

¹⁷ Righteous `is' Jehovah in all His ways, And kind in all His works.

¹⁵ To declare that upright `is' Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

³ Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?

⁷ and I heard another out of the altar, saying, `Yes, Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous `are' Thy judgments.'

¹⁰ Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness:

¹¹ For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.

¹² Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.

²⁵ Far be it from Thee to do according to this thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked; that it hath been -- as the righteous so the wicked -- far be it from Thee; doth the Judge of all the earth not do justice?'

³ and they sing the song of Moses, servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, `Great and wonderful `are' Thy works, O Lord God, the Almighty, righteous and true `are' Thy ways, O King of saints,

⁴ who may not fear Thee, O Lord, and glorify Thy name? because Thou alone `art' kind, because all the nations shall come and bow before Thee, because Thy righteous acts were manifested.'

⁵ And, if our unrighteousness God's righteousness doth establish, what shall we say? is God unrighteous who is inflicting the wrath? (after the manner of a man I speak)

⁶ let it not be! since how shall God judge the world?

¹ What, then, `is' the superiority of the Jew? or what the profit of the circumcision?

⁵ but, according to thy hardness and impenitent heart, thou dost treasure up to thyself wrath, in a day of wrath and of the revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

¹ Righteous `art' Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.

² This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness `is' more than God's?'

¹⁸ Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?'

¹⁹ That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands `are' all of them.
