“ So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

“ Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

“ Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin! The Almighty can do no wrong.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

“ Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, And from the Almighty to do wrong.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.

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.

Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.

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.

“ Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

As for the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. He is a reliable God who is never unjust, he is fair and upright.

What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!

Far be it from you to do such a thing– to kill the godly with the wicked, treating the godly and the wicked alike! Far be it from you! Will not the judge of the whole earth do what is right?”

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being shown up as a liar, just as it is written:“ so that you will be justified in your words and will prevail when you are judged.”But if our unrighteousness demonstrates the righteousness of God, what shall we say? The God who inflicts wrath is not unrighteous, is he?( I am speaking in human terms.)

Respect the LORD and make careful decisions, for the LORD our God disapproves of injustice, partiality, and bribery.”

Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him,‘ You have done what is wicked’?

A man who commits adultery with a woman lacks wisdom, whoever does it destroys his own life.

So they proclaim that the LORD, my protector, is just and never unfair.

LORD, you have always been fair whenever I have complained to you. However, I would like to speak with you about the disposition of justice. Why are wicked people successful? Why do all dishonest people have such easy lives?

As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him! He is great in power, but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.

Let no one say when he is tempted,“ I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.

The one who refuses correction despises himself, but whoever hears reproof acquires understanding.

Men of understanding say to me– any wise man listening to me says–

“ Listen to my words, you wise men; hear me, you learned men.For the ear assesses words as the mouth tastes food.
