3. But he who has not his heart within, nor God before his eyes, is easily moved with a word of dispraise:
Whereas he that trusts in me, and desires not to stand by his own judgment, will be free from the fear of men.
For I am the judge and discerner of all secrets; I know how the matter passed; I know both him that offers the injury, and him that suffers it.
From me this word went forth; by my permission it happened, that out of many hearts thoughts may be revealed. Luke ii.
I shall judge the guilty and the innocent; but by a secret judgment I would beforehand try them both.
4. The testimony of men oftentimes deceives: my judgment is true, it shall stand and not be overthrown.
It is hidden for the most part, and to few laid open in every thing; yet it never errs, nor can it err, though to the eyes of fools it seems not right.
To me therefore must thou run in every judgment, and not depend upon thy own will.
For the just man will not be troubled whatever happens to him from God. Proverbs xii.
