Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.
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.
Say ye of the righteous, that (it shall be) well (with him); for they shall eat the fruit of their doings.
Woe unto the wicked! (it shall be) ill (with him); for what his hands have done shall be done unto him.
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.)
God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
