I have learned that all the works, that God made, last steadfastly unto without end; we may not add anything to those works, neither take away from those things, which God made, that he be dreaded.
It is good, that thou sustain a just [or rightwise] man; but also withdraw thou not thine hand from him; for he that dreadeth God, is not negligent of anything.
Nevertheless of that, that a sinner doeth evil an hundred times, and is suffered by patience, I knew that good it shall be to men dreading God, that reverence his face, or presence.
