²⁵ Far be it from You to do ^[a]such a thing, to put to death the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous and the wicked are treated alike. Far be it from You! Shall not ^(A)the Judge of all the earth do justice?”

⁷ So now then let the dread of Yahweh be upon you; ^[a]be careful what you do, because ^[b]with Yahweh our God ^(A)there is no unrighteousness ^(B)or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”

⁵ But if our unrighteousness ^[a](A)demonstrates the righteousness of God, ^(B)what shall we say? Is the God who inflicts wrath unrighteous? (^(C)I am speaking in human terms.)
