Righteousness
Righteousness is described as the inclination and striving to fulfill the duties of one's class to God and to man. In the texts of the Old Testament , righteousness is often emphasized as an important quality without giving a clear definition of what is meant by it in terms of content. If characteristics are mentioned, then these are the right and beneficial language of the righteous person as well as his controlled behavior. For example, the wise king could create justice for the lesser by using the right language, which in return would legitimize his claim to the throne. In the Old Testament, the wicked are cited as opponents of the righteous .
