You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly.

You must not use dishonest measures of length, weight, or volume.

For everyone who behaves dishonestly in regard to these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

Your hands were not bound, your feet were not fettered. As a man falls before the wicked, so also you fell.” And all the people wept over him even more.

And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

And now, may the fear of the LORD be upon you. Be careful what you do, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”

So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.

Reconsider; do not be unjust. Reconsider, for my righteousness is at stake.

Is there iniquity on my tongue? Can my mouth not discern malice?

…if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,

Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?

…how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?

If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents

The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is broken like a tree.

…my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.

Therefore listen to me, O men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wrong, and from the Almighty to act unjustly.

Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’

Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?

O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

Of David. Do not fret over those who do evil; do not envy those who do wrong.

Vindicate me, O God, and plead my case against an ungodly nation; deliver me from deceitful and unjust men.

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

No, in your hearts you devise injustice; with your hands you mete out violence on the earth.

They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

“How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

No enemy will exact tribute; no wicked man will oppress him.

…to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

The upright see and rejoice, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

They do no iniquity; they walk in His ways.

For the scepter of the wicked will not rest upon the land allotted to the righteous, so that the righteous will not put forth their hands to injustice.

He who sows injustice will reap disaster, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed.

An unjust man is detestable to the righteous, and one whose way is upright is detestable to the wicked.

For your hands are stained with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue mutters injustice.

For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.

This is what the LORD says: “What fault did your fathers find in Me that they strayed so far from Me? They followed worthless idols, and became worthless themselves.

Now if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. And I will hold you responsible for his blood.

He does not engage in usury or take excess interest, but he withholds his hand from iniquity and executes true justice between men.

But if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, committing the same abominations as the wicked, will he live? None of the righteous acts he did will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness and sin he has committed, he will die.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, he will die for this. He will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you.

By the multitude of your iniquities and the dishonesty of your trading you have profaned your sanctuaries. So I made fire come from within you, and it consumed you. I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the eyes of all who saw you.

If I tell the righteous man that he will surely live, but he then trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, then none of his righteous works will be remembered; he will die because of the iniquity he has committed.

…if he restores a pledge, makes restitution for what he has stolen, and walks in the statutes of life without practicing iniquity—then he will surely live; he will not die.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.

You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,

…who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with iniquity.
