The concept of being "righted" in a biblical context often relates to the idea of justice, restoration, and righteousness. While the specific term "righted" may not appear frequently in the Bible, the underlying principles are deeply embedded in the scriptural narrative. The Bible consistently emphasizes God's desire to restore and make right what has been wronged, both in individual lives and in the broader context of creation.

Justice and Righteousness

The Bible frequently pairs justice with righteousness, indicating that to be "righted" is to be aligned with God's standards. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "tsedeq" often translates to both "righteousness" and "justice," suggesting a close relationship between the two. For instance, in Isaiah 1:17 , the prophet calls the people to "Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow." This verse highlights the biblical mandate to right wrongs and establish justice.

Restoration

The theme of restoration is central to the biblical narrative. God’s redemptive plan through Jesus Christ is the ultimate act of righting the wrongs caused by sin. In the New Testament, the Greek word "katartizo" is often used to describe the process of making something complete or restoring it to its original condition. Galatians 6:1 states, "Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness." This passage underscores the call for believers to participate in the restorative work of righting wrongs within the community of faith.

Divine Justice

God's justice is portrayed as perfect and impartial. Deuteronomy 32:4 declares, "He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He." This verse affirms that God’s actions are always right and just, serving as the ultimate standard for human justice.

Human Responsibility

Believers are called to reflect God's justice and righteousness in their own lives. Micah 6:8 succinctly captures this responsibility: "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" This verse emphasizes the active role that individuals must play in righting wrongs and living according to God’s righteous standards.

Eschatological Hope

The Bible also presents an eschatological hope where all wrongs will ultimately be righted. Revelation 21:4 offers a vision of this future: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away." This promise assures believers that God will fully and finally right all wrongs in the new creation.

In summary, while the term "righted" may not be explicitly used in the Bible, the concept is deeply woven into the fabric of Scripture through themes of justice, restoration, divine righteousness, human responsibility, and eschatological hope.(imp. & p. p.) of Right.3087.
