3997. And my righteousness shall answer for me. That this signifies the Divine holiness the Lord had, is evident from the signification of “righteousness,” as being predicated of good (n. 612, 2235); but when, as here, it is predicated of the Lord, it signifies the Divine holiness; for all spiritual and celestial good proceeds from the Divine holy of the Lord.
