"Noweaponthat is formedagainstyou will prosper;And everytonguethat accusesyou in judgmentyou will condemn.Thisis the heritageof the servantsof the LORD,And their vindicationis from Me," declaresthe LORD.
"Your lifewould be brighterthannoonday;Darknesswould be like the morning.
"Thenyour lightwill breakout like the dawn,And your recoverywill speedilyspringforth;And your righteousnesswill gobeforeyou; The gloryof the LORDwill be your rearguard.
"ThenTHE RIGHTEOUSWILL SHINE FORTHAS THE SUNin the kingdomof their Father.He who hasears,let him hear.
And if you giveyourselfto the hungryAnd satisfythe desireof the afflicted,Then your lightwill risein darknessAnd your gloom[will become] like midday.
You hidethem in the secretplaceof Your presencefrom the conspiraciesof man;You keepthem secretlyin a shelterfrom the strifeof tongues.
Thereforedo not go on passing judgmentbeforethe time,[but wait] untilthe Lordcomeswhowill bothbring to lightthe things hiddenin the darknessand disclosethe motivesof [men's] hearts;and theneach man'spraisewill cometo him from God.
So you will againdistinguishbetweenthe righteousand the wicked,betweenone who servesGodand one whodoes not serveHim.
