So, O man of heart, listen to me; far be it from God to do wickedness; and the Almighty, to do evilly.

For He repays man's work to him; and according to a man's way, He causes him to find.

Yea, surely God will not do evilly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

Who has given the earth as in deposit with Him? Or who has laid the whole world?

If He sets His heart on him, if He gathers his Spirit and his breath to Himself,

all flesh shall perish together, and man shall return to dust.

But if you have understanding, hear this; listen to the sound of my words:

Shall one who hates justice restrain it ? Or will you condemn a righteous, mighty one;

who says to a king, O worthless one; to nobles, O evil one?

How much less to Him who does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor; for all of them are the work of His hands.

In a moment they die, and a people are shaken at midnight; yea, they pass away, and the mighty will be taken without a hand.
