The Negativity
It is interesting to see the links that the anti-Messiah spirit has gone to paint righteousness as evil. Let’s think of the areas of culture in which the righteous ones (and the righteous One Himself) are essentially slandered on a regular basis:
Popular Media outlets
Popular social media
Hollywood - Movies and TV
Politics - Democrats and many Republicans
Education - Almost across the board, Pre-K through Universities.
Music - Yeh, no need to illustrate. You know what I mean.
Can you think of other areas of anti-God bias and oppression?

Accurate weights are YHWH’s delight.
With humility comes wisdom.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them.
Righteousness delivers from death.
The righteousness of the blameless will direct his way.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them.
A righteous person is delivered out of trouble.
The righteous will be delivered through knowledge.
When it goes well with the righteous.
By the blessing of the upright, the city is exalted.
A man of understanding holds his peace.
One who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.
In the multitude of counselors there is victory.
He who refuses pledges of collateral is secure.
A gracious woman receives honor.
The merciful man does good to his own soul.
One who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.
He who is truly righteous gets life.
Those whose ways are blameless are his delight.
The offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
The desire of the righteous is only good.
There is one who scatters, and increases yet more.
The generous person shall be made prosperous.
He who waters shall be watered also himself.
Blessings will be on the head of him who sells grain.
He who diligently seeks good seeks favor.
The righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life.
He who is wise wins souls.
Behold, the righteous shall be repaid in the earth.
I love you in the Name of YHWH. Be blessed and receive the righteous teachings of the King of all glory,
-Paul
