Then Abraham approached him and said:“ Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

Then Abraham came up to him. He said,“ Will you sweep away godly people along with those who are evil?

Then Abraham drew near and said,“ Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

Abraham stepped forward and said,“ Will you really sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

Abraham approached and said,“ Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

But Moses and Aaron fell face down on the ground.“ O God,” they pleaded,“ you are the God who gives breath to all creatures. Must you be angry with all the people when only one man sins?”

When David saw the angel, he said to the Lord,“ I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep— what have they done? Let your anger fall against me and my family.”

But Abimelech had not slept with her yet, so he said,“ Lord, will you destroy an innocent nation?

“ But,” some might say,“ our sinfulness serves a good purpose, for it helps people see how righteous God is. Isn’t it unfair, then, for him to punish us?”( This is merely a human point of view.)Of course not! If God were not entirely fair, how would he be qualified to judge the world?

Could God govern if he hated justice? Are you going to condemn the almighty judge?

Surely you wouldn’t do such a thing, destroying the righteous along with the wicked. Why, you would be treating the righteous and the wicked exactly the same! Surely you wouldn’t do that! Should not the Judge of all the earth do what is right?”

Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years!

But the Lord is in his holy Temple; the Lord still rules from heaven. He watches everyone closely, examining every person on earth.The Lord examines both the righteous and the wicked. He hates those who love violence.He will rain down blazing coals and burning sulfur on the wicked, punishing them with scorching winds.For the righteous Lord loves justice. The virtuous will see his face.

Does God twist justice? Does the Almighty twist what is right?

They will have their own ruler again, and he will come from their own people. I will invite him to approach me,” says the Lord,“ for who would dare to come unless invited?

let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts fully trusting him. For our guilty consciences have been sprinkled with Christ’s blood to make us clean, and our bodies have been washed with pure water.

But as for me, how good it is to be near God! I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter, and I will tell everyone about the wonderful things you do.
