⁴ But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?

⁴ He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

⁷ Wherefore now let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts.

¹⁵ O Lord God of Israel, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this.

³³ Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly:

³ Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

²⁰ Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:

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.

²³ Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

¹¹ So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
