1 Esdras 4:38-40

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁸ But truth endures and is strong for ever, and lives and prevails for ever and ever. ³⁹ With it there is no partiality or preference, but it does what is righteous instead of anything that is unrighteous or wicked. Everyone approves its deeds, ⁴⁰ and there is nothing unrighteous in its judgement. To it belongs the strength and the kingship and the power and the majesty of all the ages. Blessed be the God of truth!’
