Is it because of your fear of Him that He reproves you, or enters into right-ruling with you?
Yet on such a one You open Your eyes, and bring me to right-ruling with Yourself!
O that one might plead for a man with Eloah, as a man with his neighbour!
fear the sword yourselves, for wrath brings the punishment of the sword, so that you know there is a judgment.”
Is it a delight to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or gain, that you make your ways perfect?
For He sets a man no stated time to appear before Ě
Am I the sea, or a sea monster, that You set a guard over me?
If I speak of power? Look, He is mighty. And if of right-ruling? Who sets me a time?
For He is not a man as I am that I answer Him, and we come together into right-ruling.
And do not enter into right-ruling with Your servant, For before You no one living is in the right.
“When You chastise man for crookedness with reproofs, You consume what he loves, like a moth; All men are but a breath. Selah.
At Your rebuke, O Elohim of Yaʽ
It is burned with fire, it is cut down; They perish at the rebuke of Your face.
For Elohim shall bring every work into right-ruling, including all that is hidden, whether good or whether evil.
“As many as I love, I reprove and discipline. So be ardent and repent.
