        him into judgment.

9:12 {e} When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth
     them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.

         his, yet he does not permit the wicked to go
         unpunished.

9:16 {h} The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he

     (h) The mercy of God toward his saints must be declared and
         the fall of the wicked must always be considered.

         cross.

         judgment.
