His eyes see, His eyelids test the children of men. [Acts 7:49; Rev 4:2]5The L ord tests the righteous and the wicked, And His soul hates the [malevolent] one who loves violence. [James 1:12]6Upon the wicked (godless) He will rain coals of fire; Fire and brimstone and a dreadful scorching wind will be the portion of their cup [of doom].7For the L ord is [absolutely] righteous, He loves righteousness (virtue, morality, justice); The upright shall see His face.Psalms 10Psalms 12
