“Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers.
“Remember: who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?
Mark the blameless and behold the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed:
For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage;
that the evil man is spared in the day of calamity, that he is rescued in the day of wrath?
It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
