Mongolian Chicken and Shrimp with Onions Leeks and Fresh Shallot GreenTops

10 "Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong. 

11 For according to the work of a man he will repay him, and according to his ways he will make it befall him. 

12 Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice. 

13 Who gave him charge over the earth, and who laid on him the whole world?
