So he said to him,‘ Friend, how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless.

“ Friend,” Jesus asked him,“ why have you come?” Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.

What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!For he tells Moses, I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.

He keeps company with evildoers and walks with wicked men.For he has said,“ A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend.”Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly.For he repays a person according to his deeds, and he gives him what his conduct deserves.Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly and the Almighty does not pervert justice.

Could one who hates justice govern the world? Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One,who says to a king,“ Worthless man!” and to nobles,“ Wicked men!”?

Do you think it is just when you say,“ I am righteous before God”?

Would you really challenge my justice? Would you declare me guilty to justify yourself?

On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it,“ Why did you make me like this?”

You could not possibly do such a thing: to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. You could not possibly do that! Won’t the Judge of the whole earth do what is just?”
