God's Straightforwardness
Isaiah 45:19
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain…


"I, the Lord, speak righteousness." The word is used in its ethical sense of "trustworthiness," or straightforwardness, — perfect correspondence between deeds and words.

(Prof. J. Skinner, D. D.)
