1:17 Learn to do what is right!
Promote justice!
Give the oppressed reason to celebrate!
Take up the cause of the orphan!
Defend the rights of the widow!
1:21 How tragic that the once-faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She was once a center of
fairness resided in her,
but now only murderers.
26:8 Yes, as your judgments unfold,
O Lord, we wait for you.
We desire your fame and reputation to grow.
28:17 I will make justice the measuring line,
fairness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge,
the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
33:5 The Lord is exalted,
indeed,
he fills Zion with justice and fairness.
34:5 He says,
Look, it now descends on Edom,
on the people I will annihilate in judgment.”
40:14 From whom does he receive directions?
Who
or imparts knowledge to him,
or instructs him in skillful design?
40:27 Why do you say, Jacob,
Why do you say, Israel,
“The Lord is not aware of what is happening to me,
My God is not concerned with my vindication”?
41:1 “Listen to me in silence, you coastlands!
Let the nations find renewed strength!
Let them approach and then speak;
let us come together for debate!
42:3 A crushed reed he will not break,
a dim wick he will not extinguish;
he will faithfully make just decrees.
42:4 He will not grow dim or be crushed
before establishing justice on the earth;
the coastlands
50:8 The one who vindicates me is close by.
Who dares to argue with me? Let us confront each other!
Who is my accuser?
59:11 We all growl like bears,
we coo mournfully like doves;
we wait for deliverance,
for salvation, but it is far from us.
