Because I delivered the poor who cried out, The fatherless and [the one who] had no helper.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice [was] like a robe and a turban.

I [was] a father to the poor, And I searched out the case [that] I did not know.

I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law [is] within my heart."

Praise the LORD! Blessed [is] the man [who] fears the LORD, [Who] delights greatly in His commandments.

I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word.

Unless Your law [had been] my delight, I would then have perished in my affliction.

"and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

"But He will say, 'I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity.'

"There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out.
