Lexicon :: Strong's H6663 - ṣāḏaq

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 people ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to [fn]court ^H4941, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 decide ^H8199 their case, and they declare ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 innocent ^H6663 and pronounce ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563 guilty ^H7561,

‘Can mankind ^H582 be ^H6663 righteous ^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 person ^H582 be ^H6663 in ^H6663 the ^H6663 right ^H6663 with ^H5973 God ^H410?

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

I would have to implore ^H2603 the mercy ^H2603 of my Judge ^H8199.

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

Though I am guiltless ^H8535, He will declare ^H6140 me guilty ^H6140.

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

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

I am full ^H7649 of shame ^H7036, and [fn]conscious ^H7202 of my misery ^H6040.

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

And a talkative ^H8193 man ^H376 be acquitted ^H6663?

“Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, I have prepared ^H6186 my case ^H4941;

I know ^H3045 that I will be vindicated ^H6663.

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

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

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

Or ^H518 gain ^H1215 if ^H3588 you make ^H8552 your ways ^H1870 blameless ^H8552?

“How ^H4100 then can mankind ^H582 be ^H6663 righteous ^H6663 with God ^H410?

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

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

Until ^H5704 I die ^H1478, I will not [fn]give ^H5493 up ^H5493 my integrity ^H8538.

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

For God ^H433 is ^H7235 greater ^H7235 than ^H4480 mankind ^H582.

“Then if ^H518 [fn]you have ^H3426 anything ^H4405 to ^H4405 say ^H4405, answer ^H7725 me;

Speak ^H1696, for I would take ^H2654 pleasure ^H2654 in justifying ^H6663 you.

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

But God ^H410 has taken ^H5493 away ^H5493 my right ^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 nullify ^H6565 My judgment ^H4941?

Will you condemn ^H7561 Me so ^H4616 that ^H4616 you may be justified ^H6663?

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

The judgments ^H4941 of the LORD ^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 ^H4616 You [fn]are justified ^H6663 [fn]when You speak ^H1696

And [fn]blameless ^H2135 when You judge ^H8199.

Vindicate ^H8199 the weak ^H1800 and fatherless ^H3490;

Do ^H6663 justice ^H6663 to the afflicted ^H6041 and destitute ^H7326.

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

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

One who justifies ^H6663 the wicked ^H7563 and one who condemns ^H7561 the righteous ^H6662,

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

Who declare ^H6663 the wicked ^H7563 innocent ^H6663 for a bribe ^H7810,

And take ^H5493 away ^H5493 the [fn]rights ^H6666 of the ones ^H6662 who are in ^H6662 the ^H6662 right ^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 proclaim ^H8085 to us the former ^H7223 things ^H7223?

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

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

“[fn]Meet ^H2142 Me in ^H2142 court ^H2142, let’s argue ^H8199 our case ^H8199 together ^H3162;

State ^H5608 your cause, so ^H4616 that ^H4616 you may be proved ^H6663 right ^H6663.

“In the LORD ^H3068 all ^H3605 the offspring ^H2233 of Israel ^H3478

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

He who 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 case ^H4941 against Me?

Let him approach ^H5066 Me.

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

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

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

My Servant ^H5650, will justify ^H6663 the many ^H7227,

For He will bear ^H5445 their wrongdoings ^H5771.

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