36
The whole earth calls on truth, and heaven praises it. All of heaven's works move and tremble at the sight of it, and there's nothing wrong with truth.
37
You can't trust wine; you can't trust the king; you can't trust women. No human beings are trustworthy. Everything they do is wrong. There is no truth in them. They will perish in their lies.
38
But truth endures and is valid for all time; it lives and succeeds forever.
39
With it there's no charade or preference, but it does what is right instead of what is wrong or evil. Everyone approves of its deeds. There's nothing unjust in its judgment.
40
To it belongs the strength, the royalty, the authority, and the greatness of all ages. Bless God's truth!"
