'Righteousness' in the Bible
“Does God pervert justice?Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?
“I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;My justice was like a robe and a turban!
“He will pray to God, and He shall be favorable to him,So that he looks at His face with joy;For God restores to man His righteousness [that is, his right standing with God—with its joys].
“Do you think this is according to [your] justice?Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
“Your wickedness affects only a man such as you,And your righteousness affects only a son of man [but it cannot affect God, who is sovereign].
“I will bring my knowledge from afar,And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
“The Almighty—we cannot find Him;He is exalted in powerAnd He will not do violence to [nor disregard] justice and abundant righteousness.
