by being pleasing to God?
God Does Not Pervert Justice

Far be it from God to do evil;[a]
far be it from the Almighty to be unjust.

ensuring that he will receive what his conduct deserves.
Footnotes
- Job 34:10 Far be it from God to do evil: Elihu is answering a charge that God does evil, which Job in his frustration has intimated; for he has insisted that God is punishing him wrongfully and allowing evildoers to flourish (Job 24:1-12).
