Judgement

18It shall be, when he sits on the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write himself a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.

19It shall be with him, and he shall read from it all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear Yahweh his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;

7But Yahweh reigns forever. He has prepared his throne for judgment.

8He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

9Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

12Also to you, Lord, belongs loving kindness, for you reward every man according to his work.

2All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

26Many seek the ruler’s favor, but a man’s justice comes from Yahweh.

15That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago: and God seeks again that which is passed away.

16Moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

17I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

12Furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13This is the end of the matter. All has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

14For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.

1Yahweh says, “Maintain justice, and do what is right; for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will soon be revealed.

18When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die therein.

19When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

20Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways.
