7 Will ye speak unrighteously for ùGod? and for him speak deceit?
For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified? Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed? For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
He that betrayeth friends for a prey -- even the eyes of his children shall fail.
My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming that every one who kills you will think to render service to God;
But if our unrighteousness commend God's righteousness, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who inflicts wrath? I speak according to man. Far be the thought: since how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God, in my lie, has more abounded to his glory, why yet am *I* also judged as a sinner? and not, according as we are injuriously charged, and according as some affirm that we say, Let us practise evil things, that good ones may come? whose judgment is just.
