Thematic Bible
Justice » Brings its own reward
Does it make you any more of a king that you outstrip everyone else in building with cedar? Just think about your father. He was content that he had food and drink. He did what was just and right. So things went well with him.
Righteousness » Brings its own reward
The wicked person earns deceitful wages, but the one who sows righteousness reaps a genuine reward.
Tell the innocent it will go well with them, for they will be rewarded for what they have done.
