12
For who will say, "What have you done?" or will resist your judgment? Who will accuse you for the destruction of nations that you made? Or who will come before you to plead as an advocate for the unrighteous?
13
For neither is there any god besides you, whose care is for all people, to whom you should prove that you have not judged unjustly;
14
nor can any king or monarch confront you about those whom you have punished.
15
You are righteous and you rule all things righteously, deeming it alien to your power to condemn anyone who does not deserve to be punished.
16
For your strength is the source of righteousness, and your sovereignty over all causes you to spare all.
