Genesis 18:25

Inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once, and after this, judgment,

I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works.

“I, Yahweh, search the mind. I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.”

But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

For the work of a man he will render to him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

As for God, his way is perfect. Yahweh’s word is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

There is a vanity which is done on the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked. Again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

I will kill her children with Death, and all the assemblies will know that I am he who searches the minds and hearts. I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.

You shall tell Pharaoh, ‘Yahweh says, Israel is my son, my firstborn,

The Rock: his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. A God of faithfulness who does no wrong, just and right is he.

Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me. May Yahweh the Judge be judge today between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.”

May Yahweh judge between me and you, and may Yahweh avenge me of you; but my hand will not be on you.

May Yahweh therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and you, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of your hand.”

Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

“Behold, God will not cast away a blameless man, neither will he uphold the evildoers.

The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their god in their hands.

“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.

Yes surely, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen.

For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.

For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

For there is a time and procedure for every purpose, although the misery of man is heavy on him.

Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

“Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.

Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’

Nevertheless, don’t rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

For there is no partiality with God.

But now faith, hope, and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.

Don’t fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness.

Against you, and you only, I have sinned, and done that which is evil in your sight, so you may be proved right when you speak, and justified when you judge.

so that men shall say, “Most certainly there is a reward for the righteous. Most certainly there is a God who judges the earth.”

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

Should even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?—

I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

For Yahweh is our judge. Yahweh is our lawgiver. Yahweh is our king. He will save us.

But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I don’t seek my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.

What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? May it never be!

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.

Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

All this I have seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.

For though your people, Israel, are like the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.

You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would like to reason the cause with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are they all at ease who deal very treacherously?

Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.
