And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: there is indeed a God that judgeth them on the earth.
And man will say, “If the just one is fruitful, then, truly, there is a God judging them on earth.”1
- 57:12Here the word ‘justo’ is singular, so it could be translated as ‘the just man,’ referring, on one level, to Christ. The teachings and sacrifice of Jesus Christ bear fruit, so man concludes that there is a God who judges the earth. But, on another level, the word ‘justo’ refers to the just in general, as indicated by the plural word ‘eos.’(Conte)
