“Surely, God does not reject a blameless man, ¹  nor does he grasp the hand ²  of the evildoers.

I am blameless. ¹  I do not know myself. ²  I despise my life.

“It is all one! ¹  That is why I say, ²  ‘He destroys the blameless and the guilty.’

He will not grow rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions ¹  spread over the land.

Man puts an end to the darkness; ¹  he searches the farthest recesses for the ore in the deepest darkness. ² 

“Do you think this to be ¹  just: when ²  you say, ‘My right before God.’ ³ 

God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. ¹ 

Take note of the one who has integrity! Observe the godly! ¹  For the one who promotes peace has a future. ² 

א (Alef) How blessed are those whose actions are blameless, ²  who obey ³  the law of the Lord.

For this reason ¹  I love your commands more than gold, even purest gold.

Do not sit in judgment on ¹  your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you. ² 

Wisdom has built her house; she has carved out its seven pillars. ² 

The Lord abhors ¹  dishonest scales, ²  but an accurate weight ³  is his elight.

The righteousness of the blameless will make straight their way, ¹  but the wicked person will fall by his own wickedness. ² 

He who watches the wind will not sow, and he who observes the clouds will not reap. ¹ 

Now the altar hearth ¹  is a perfect square, 21 feet ²  long and 21 feet wide.

And immediately the man’s ¹  ears were opened, his tongue loosened, and he spoke plainly.

Now ¹  a certain ruler ²  asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” ³ 

The true light, who gives light to everyone, ¹  was coming into the world. ² 

But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good. ¹
