(7) But if through my deception, the firm-truth of יהוה YAHWEH abounds unto His glory, why am I, myself still being judged as a deviator?

[7] Someone might object, "If my falsehood enhances God's truthfulness and increases His glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner? Shouldn't I be rewarded for making God look good?"

for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?
