'Uprightness' in the Bible
Then his wife said to him, “Do you still cling to your integrity [and your faith and trust in God, without blaming Him]? Curse God and die!”
Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth it reprove?
“I hold fast my uprightness and my right standing with God and I will not let them go;My heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
“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].
He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
