'Unrighteousness' in the Bible
Now then let the fear of the Lord be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the Lord our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”
“So the helpless has hope,And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.
“If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored;If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent,
No, in heart you work unrighteousness;On earth you weigh out the violence of your hands.
To declare that the Lord is upright;He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
The upright see it and are glad;But all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.
They also do no unrighteousness;They walk in His ways.
“You were blameless in your waysFrom the day you were createdUntil unrighteousness was found in you.
“By the multitude of your iniquities,In the unrighteousness of your tradeYou profaned your sanctuaries.Therefore I have brought fire from the midst of you;It has consumed you,And I have turned you to ashes on the earthIn the eyes of all who see you.
True instruction was in his mouth and unrighteousness was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and he turned many back from iniquity.
