2529. 'Yes, I know that in the uprightness of your heart you have done this' means that such thinking was the product of innocence and of simple good. This is clear from what has been stated above in 2525, 2526, where the same words occur. But no such mention is made here, as in that verse above, of 'in the blamelessness of my hands' for the hidden reason that the affection for truth, meant by 'the blamelessness of one's hands', has something of the human within it. For in the Lord also truth was implanted through the human that He had by birth; but good came from the Divine alone, as becomes clear from the rise of the rational as regards good and as regards truth, 2524.
