Does he correct you and take you to court because of your piety?
Do you really take notice of one like this? Will you bring me into judgement against you? ,
As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be zealous and repent.
God does not need to examine a person further, that one should approach him in court.
then be afraid of the sword, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a judgement.
I wish that someone might argue for a man with God just as anyone would for a friend.
For he is not a man like me, that I can answer him, that we can take each other to court.
If it is a matter of strength, look, he is the powerful one! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
Am I the sea , or a sea monster, that you keep me under guard?
For God will bring every act to judgement, including every hidden thing, whether good or evil.
Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous? Does he profit if you perfect your behaviour?
