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

Who has appointed His way for Him,
and who has declared, “You have done wrong”?

The Almighty—we cannot reach Him—
He is exalted in power!
He will not oppress justice and abundant righteousness,

You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of all the earth do what is just?”

The Rock—His work is perfect;
all His ways are entirely just.
A faithful God, without prejudice,
He is righteous and true.

And now, may the terror of the Lord be on you. Watch what you do, for there is no injustice or partiality or taking bribes with the Lord our God.”

to declare: “The Lord is just;
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”

You will be righteous, Lord,
even if I bring a case against You.
Yet, I wish to contend with You:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the treacherous live at ease?

Absolutely not! God must be true, even if everyone is a liar, as it is written:

That You may be justified in Your words
and triumph when You judge.

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

No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God is not tempted by evil, and He Himself doesn’t tempt anyone.
