²⁹ When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

⁷ Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

⁸ Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

⁵ But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

⁶ God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
