Although this expression has been used, it is best to avoid it since it seems to imply that Jehovah’s mercy softens or restrains his justice, as if his mercy were superior to the harsher quality of justice.
Ehkki seda väljendit on aeg - ajalt kasutatud, oleks hea seda vältida, kuna see võib jätta mulje, et Jehoova halastus pehmendab või piirab tema õiglust, otsekui oleks tema halastus parem karmimast omadusest – õiglusest.
