And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury,

When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.

Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

He will not take off his eyes from the just: and with kings upon the throne, and he will seat them for glory, and they shall be exalted.

By him the face of his high seat is veiled, and his cloud stretched out over it.

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.

For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,

This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- 'My righteousness is more than God's?'

Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment is before Him, and stay for Him.

He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;

The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,

Dost thou also make void My judgment? Dost thou condemn Me, That thou mayest be righteous?

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what is good.
