The Holy Spirit convicts of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. Jesus in Matthew 23 confronts the Scribes and Pharisees and tells them directly their wrong doing. In Exodus 23, God tells the people how they must live in society with justice and righteousness and gives many examples of what the people must not do. Psalm 19 declares the honour of God, and that nothing is hid from His heat, His righteousness and his judgment are in His hands for he is the maker of heaven and earth and all that is in them. Proverbs 6 says that the thief who steals to fill his soul when he is hungry is not despised but judgment requires him to repay sevenfold.
