TSK · Isaiah 43:26

that he would maintain the right of a man with God, of a son of man with his neighbor!

"Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you? I lay my hand on my mouth.

Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me, that you may be justified?

"Come now, and let us reason together," says Yahweh: "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed. How then have you turned into the degenerate branches of a foreign vine to me?

But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?"

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn't subject themselves to the righteousness of God.
