Job 31:14

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.”

“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.”

Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.

“Keep silent before me, islands, and let the peoples renew their strength. Let them come near, then let them speak. Let’s meet together for judgment.

You, son of man, don’t be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you dwell among scorpions. Don’t be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?

Don’t judge, and you won’t be judged. Don’t condemn, and you won’t be condemned. Set free, and you will be set free.

He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

How much more, when wicked men have slain a righteous person in his own house on his bed, should I not now require his blood from your hand, and rid the earth of you?”

Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you.”

So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.

Do you open your eyes on such a one, and bring me into judgment with you?

Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?

How then can man be just with God? Or how can he who is born of a woman be clean?

Doesn’t he see my ways, and count all my steps?

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

“I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be restrained.

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.

If you, Yah, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand?

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

He will lift up a banner to the nations from far away, and he will whistle for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly.

You, when you are made desolate, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself with scarlet, though you deck yourself with ornaments of gold, though you enlarge your eyes with makeup, you make yourself beautiful in vain. Your lovers despise you. They seek your life.

They are vanity, a work of delusion. In the time of their visitation they will perish.

Can anyone hide himself in secret places so that I can’t see him?” says Yahweh. “Don’t I fill heaven and earth?” says Yahweh.

Your prophets have seen false and foolish visions for you. They have not uncovered your iniquity, to reverse your captivity, but have seen for you false revelations and causes of banishment.

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.

yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
