'Right' in the Bible
“Does God pervert justice?Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
“In truth I know that this is so;But how can a man be in the right before God?
“For though I were right, I could not answer;I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.
‘Is it right for You indeed to oppress,To reject the labor of Your hands,And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked?
“If you would direct your heart rightAnd spread out your hand to Him,
When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him;He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.
“As God lives, who has taken away my right,And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,
“Far be it from me that I should declare you right;Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
“On the right hand their brood arises;They thrust aside my feet and build up against me their ways of destruction.
“Behold, let me tell you, you are not right in this,For God is greater than man.
“If there is an angel as mediator for him,One out of a thousand,To remind a man what is right for him,
“He will sing to men and say,‘I have sinned and perverted what is right,And it is not proper for me.
“Let us choose for ourselves what is right;Let us know among ourselves what is good.
“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,But God has taken away my right;
Should I lie concerning my right?My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
“Then I will also confess to you,That your own right hand can save you.
It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.
Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”
