'Justifying' in the Bible

and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

Whoso is justifying the wicked, And condemning the righteous, Even both of these are an abomination to Jehovah.

Near is He who is justifying me, Who doth contend with me? We stand together, who is mine opponent? Let him come nigh unto me.

Thou also -- bear thy shame, That thou hast adjudged to thy sisters, Because of thy sins that thou hast done more abominably than they, They are more righteous than thou, And thou, also, be ashamed and bear thy shame, In thy justifying thy sisters.

And those teaching do shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars to the age and for ever.
