Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her. But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside, that she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside. And so it was, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and fled outside, that she called to the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice. And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
The first one to plead his cause seems right, Until his neighbor comes and examines him.
Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.
Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless;
I will sing of mercy and justice; To You, O Lord, I will sing praises.
But if you had known what this means, ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice,’ you would not have condemned the guiltless.
He shall judge the world in righteousness, And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
“When I choose the proper time, I will judge uprightly.
