To say that "God is just". They said to Moses, "Who caused you not to enter the land?" He said to them, "I caused it myself." They said to him, "But did not God do this to you?"
He said to them, "God forbid! Even you can see that God justifies the wicked and obligates the righteous." (Deuteronomy 32:4) They said to Adam, "Who caused you to die?" He said to them, "I caused it myself." They said to him, "But did not God do this to you?"
He said to them, "God forbid! But I caused it myself." This can be compared to a sick person who was lying in bed. The doctor came and saw him and began to command, saying, "Don't eat such and such food because it is harmful and dangerous to your life."
Days later, the patient ate what the doctor had told him not to, and he became dangerously ill. They said, "Did the doctor do this to you?" He said to them, "No, I did it to myself. I transgressed what he had commanded me." (Genesis 2:17) "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for on the day that you eat of it you shall surely die," because it is harmful and dangerous to you, and I am the one who caused it. (Hosea 14:10) "For the ways of the Lord are right."
Woe to those who say that "God is just," for they will be held accountable. But I also say (Zephaniah 3:13), "The remnant of Israel shall not do wrong."
