Job 27:5

Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding.

yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

“ ‘The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is mine; for you are strangers and live as foreigners with me.

So shall no inheritance of the children of Israel move from tribe to tribe; for the children of Israel shall all keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

Let your priests be clothed with righteousness. Let your saints shout for joy!”

The wicked is brought down in his calamity, but in death, the righteous has a refuge.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

“Keep far from a false charge, and don’t kill the innocent and righteous; for I will not justify the wicked.

then hear in heaven, and act, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me. You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies. Your right hand will save me.

Also to punish the righteous is not good, nor to flog officials for their integrity.

He who says to the wicked, “You are righteous,” peoples will curse him, and nations will abhor him—

who acquit the guilty for a bribe, but deny justice for the innocent!

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession. He shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not each be scattered from his possession.” ’ ”

For we are not as so many, peddling the word of God. But as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.

Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from Yahweh. Why should I wait for Yahweh any longer?”

Then his wife said to him, “Do you still maintain your integrity? Renounce God, and die.”

Behold, he will kill me. I have no hope. Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

where then is my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I will come out like gold.

I hold fast to my righteousness, and will not let it go. My heart will not reproach me so long as I live.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

To be partial to the faces of the wicked is not good, nor to deprive the innocent of justice.

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

We also speak these things, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.

I know also, my God, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things. Now I have seen with joy your people, who are present here, offer willingly to you.

then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause.”

But stretch out your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face.”

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him, they each came from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him.

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.

If you were pure and upright, surely now he would awaken for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.

If a man dies, will he live again? I would wait all the days of my warfare, until my release should come.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

But as for you all, come back. I will not find a wise man among you.

Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.

“Do you think this to be your right, or do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s,’

“Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

Blessed is the man to whom Yahweh doesn’t impute iniquity, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Trust in him at all times, you people. Pour out your heart before him. God is a refuge for us.

But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.

A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but an aching heart breaks the spirit.

A righteous man walks in integrity. Blessed are his children after him.

You will also be a crown of beauty in Yahweh‘s hand, and a royal diadem in your God’s hand.

Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

Paul, looking steadfastly at the council, said, “Brothers, I have lived before God in all good conscience until today.”

In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

Pray for us, for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things.

because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

He said, “Far be it from me that I should do so. The man in whose hand the cup is found, he will be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father.”

If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.
