“Behold, God will not reject a blameless man, nor take the hand of evildoers.
though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand.
“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.
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.’
