Lexicon :: Strong's H6663 - ṣāḏaq

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 men ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to court ^H4941 for judgment, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 judge ^H8199 their case, and they justify ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 and condemn ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563,

‘Can mankind ^H582 be ^H6663 right ^H6663 [fn]before ^H4480 God ^H433?

Can a man ^H1397 be ^H2891 pure ^H2891 [fn]before ^H4480 his Maker ^H6213?

“In truth ^H551 I know ^H3045 that this is so ^H3651;

But how ^H4100 can a man ^H582 be ^H6663 in ^H6663 the ^H6663 right ^H6663 [fn]before ^H5973 God ^H410?

“For though ^H518 I were ^H6663 right ^H6663, I could not [fn]answer ^H6030;

I would have to plead ^H2603 for ^H2603 the grace ^H2603 of my judge ^H8199.

“Though ^H518 I am ^H6663 righteous ^H6663, my mouth ^H6310 will condemn ^H7561 me;

Though I am blameless ^H8535, He will declare ^H6140 me perverse ^H6140.

‘If ^H518 I am ^H7561 wicked ^H7561, woe ^H480 to me!

And if I am ^H6663 righteous ^H6663, I dare not lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 my head ^H7218.

I am sated ^H7649 with disgrace ^H7036—so see ^H7202 my misery ^H6040!

“Shall a multitude ^H7230 of words ^H1697 go ^H6030 unanswered ^H3808 H6030,

And a man ^H376 of lips ^H8193 be in the right ^H6663?

“Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, I have arranged ^H6186 my case for justice ^H4941;

I know ^H3045 that I will be declared righteous ^H6663.

“What ^H4100 is man ^H582, that he should be ^H2135 pure ^H2135,

Or he who is born ^H3205 of a woman ^H802, that he should be ^H6663 righteous ^H6663?

“Is there any pleasure ^H2656 to [fn]the Almighty ^H7706 if ^H3588 you are ^H6663 righteous ^H6663,

Or ^H518 profit ^H1215 if ^H3588 you make ^H8552 your ways ^H1870 perfect ^H8552?

“How ^H4100 then can mortal ^H582 man ^H582 be ^H6663 right ^H6663 with God ^H410?

Or how ^H4100 can he be ^H2135 pure ^H2135 who is born ^H3205 of woman ^H802?

“Far ^H2486 be it from me that I should declare ^H6663 you right ^H6663;

Till ^H5704 I breathe ^H1478 my last ^H1478 I will not remove ^H5493 my integrity ^H8538 from me.

“Behold ^H2005, let me answer ^H6030 you; you are ^H6663 not right ^H6663 in this ^H2088,

For God ^H433 is ^H7235 greater ^H7235 than ^H4480 mortal ^H582 man ^H582.

“Then if ^H518 [fn]you have ^H3426 any ^H4405 speech ^H4405, respond ^H7725 to me;

Speak ^H1696, for I desire ^H2654 to prove ^H6663 you righteous ^H6663.

“For Job ^H347 has said ^H559, ‘I am ^H6663 righteous ^H6663,

But God ^H410 has removed ^H5493 my justice ^H4941;

“If ^H518 you are ^H6663 righteous ^H6663, what ^H4100 do you give ^H5414 to Him,

Or ^H176 what ^H4100 does He receive ^H3947 from your hand ^H3027?

“Will you really ^H637 annul ^H6565 My judgment ^H4941?

Will you condemn ^H7561 Me that you may be justified ^H6663?

The fear ^H3374 of Yahweh ^H3068 is clean ^H2889, enduring ^H5975 forever ^H5703;

The judgments ^H4941 of Yahweh ^H3068 are true ^H571; they are ^H6663 righteous ^H6663 altogether ^H3162.

Against You, You only ^H905, I have sinned ^H2398

And done ^H6213 what ^H7451 is ^H7451 evil ^H7451 in Your sight ^H5869,

So ^H4616 that You [fn]are justified ^H6663 [fn]when You speak ^H1696

And pure ^H2135 when You judge ^H8199.

Give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to the poor ^H1800 and the orphan ^H3490;

Justify ^H6663 the afflicted ^H6041 and destitute ^H7326.

And do not enter ^H935 into judgment ^H4941 with Your slave ^H5650,

For no ^H3808 one ^H2416 living ^H2416 is ^H6663 righteous ^H6663 in Your sight ^H6440.

He who justifies ^H6663 the wicked ^H7563 and he who condemns ^H7561 the righteous ^H6662,

Both ^H1571 H8147 of them alike ^H1571 are an abomination ^H8441 to Yahweh ^H3068.

Who [fn]declare ^H6663 the wicked ^H7563 righteous ^H6663 for a bribe ^H7810,

And remove ^H5493 the [fn]righteous ^H6666 standing ^H6666 of the ones ^H6662 who are [fn]righteous ^H6662!

All ^H3605 the nations ^H1471 have gathered ^H6908 together ^H3162

So that the peoples ^H3816 may be assembled ^H622.

Who ^H4310 among them can declare ^H5046 this ^H2088

And make ^H8085 us hear ^H8085 the former ^H7223 things ^H7223?

Let them present ^H5414 their witnesses ^H5707 that they may be justified ^H6663,

Or let them hear ^H8085 and say ^H559, “It is true ^H571.”

“[fn]Bring ^H2142 Me to ^H2142 remembrance ^H2142, let us enter ^H8199 into judgment ^H8199 together ^H3162;

Recount ^H5608 your cause, that you may be proved ^H6663 right ^H6663.

“In Yahweh ^H3068 all ^H3605 the seed ^H2233 of Israel ^H3478

Will be justified ^H6663 and will boast ^H1984.”

He who [fn]vindicates ^H6663 Me is near ^H7138;

Who ^H4310 will contend ^H7378 with Me?

Let us stand ^H5975 up to each ^H3162 other ^H3162;

Who ^H4310 has ^H1167 a judgment ^H1167 H4941 against Me?

Let him approach ^H5066 Me.

As a result ^H4480 of the [fn]anguish ^H5999 of His soul ^H5315,

He will see ^H7200 [fn]it and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646;

By His knowledge ^H1847 the Righteous ^H6662 One ^H6662,

My Servant ^H5650, will [fn]justify ^H6663 the many ^H7227,

As He will bear ^H5445 their iniquities ^H5771.

And Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Faithless ^H4878 Israel ^H3478 has proved ^H6663 herself ^H5315 more ^H4480 righteous ^H6663 than ^H4480 treacherous ^H898 Judah ^H3063.
