12 And with Thee, O Lord, `is' kindness, For Thou dost recompense to each, According to his work!
For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
`For, the Son of Man is about to come in the glory of his Father, with his messengers, and then he will reward each, according to his work.
and he who is planting and he who is watering are one, and each his own reward shall receive, according to his own labour,
And Thou, O Lord, `art' God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
having known that whatever good thing each one may do, this he shall receive from the Lord, whether servant or freeman.
and if on the Father ye do call, who without acceptance of persons is judging according to the work of each, in fear the time of your sojourn pass ye,
and he who is doing unrighteously shall receive what he did unrighteously, and there is no acceptance of persons.
and Jehovah passeth over before his face, and calleth: `Jehovah, Jehovah God, merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth, keeping kindness for thousands, taking away iniquity, and transgression, and sin, and not entirely acquitting, charging iniquity of fathers on children, and on children's children, on a third `generation', and on a fourth.'
for all of us it behoveth to be manifested before the tribunal of the Christ, that each one may receive the things `done' through the body, in reference to the things that he did, whether good or evil;
Who `is' a God like Thee? taking away iniquity, And passing by the transgression of the remnant of His inheritance, He hath not retained for ever His anger, Because He -- He delighteth `in' kindness.
And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,
Great in counsel, and mighty in act, in that Thine eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of Adam, to give to each according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
When thou sayest, `Lo, we knew not this.' Is not the Ponderer of hearts He who understandeth? And the Keeper of thy soul He who knoweth? And He hath rendered to man according to his work.
