Psalms 11:5 does not accurately say that "The Lord trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.", but that "Jehovah (Yhovah, not adhonai) himself examines (Hebrew bachan, meaning "to examine, prove (qal) to examine, scrutinise to test", Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon, "to test (especially metals); generally and figuratively, to investigate", Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, H974) the righteous one as well as the wicked one, and anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates."
Hence, Jehovah God does not "try" someone, as James noted at James 1:13, but that he examines their moral character to see whether or not these hate violence and love righteousness.(see 2 Chron 16:9) If anyone is determined by an ' investigation' that such are really wicked (as at Sodom and Gomorrah, Gen 18:20, 21), then these will have God's anger against them, not as by a "test", but as by their destruction, unless these repent as many have done, so that they receive "seasons of refreshing" from Jehovah.(Acts 3:19)
At Jeremiah 17, Jehovah God says: "The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it ? I, Jehovah, am searching (Hebrew chaqar, meaning "to examine intimately", H2713) the heart, examining (Hebrew bachan) the kidney's, even to give to each one according to his ways, according to the fruitage of his dealings."(Jer 17:9, 10)
There is a difference between examining someone and passing judgment on them. At the incoming "war of the great day of God the Almighty" called Armageddon (Rev 16:14, 16), then all that have been judged as morally deficient and hence "wicked" will suffer the symbolic death-dealing "fire and brimestone".(KJV)
Jesus called such ones "goats" at Matthew 25:33, that are placed on Jesus "left" hand. Just as at the Noachian Flood, all but Noah and his family were deemed as "wicked", suffering symbolic "fire and brimestone"(Gen 7:23), whereas the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah suffered literal destruction by "brimestone and fire".(Gen 19:24)
In the Bible, there is seen that God protects his people against those who strive to destroy them. At Psalms 35, David asks: "Do conduct my case, O Jehovah, against my opponents.....say to my soul: "I (Jehovah) am your salvation"....May they become like chaff before the wind, and let Jehovah's angel be pushing them along."(Ps 35:1, 3, 5)
This is not a test, but rather David request Jehovah to pursue his enemies, who reward David "with bad for good" (Ps 35:12), such as king Saul. However, David, though oppressed by ones such as Saul, "when they became ill, my clothing was sackcloth.....saddened I bowed down."(Ps 35:13, 14) David wants Jehovah to be "magnified".(Ps 35:27) Without reading the whole chapter and getting "the sense of it", one is like Satan that took Scripture out of context as at Matthew 4.
And at Job 19:21, Job was unaware that he was being put to test by Satan (Job 1:12), but rather felt that Jehovah God was the one testing him. At Job 1, after the loss of all his children and business by Satan's hand, he proceeded to say: "Naked I came out of my mother's bell, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah himself has given, and Jehovah himself has taken away."(Job 1:21) Hence his words at Job 19:21 whereby he said that "God's own hand has touched me." Job may never have learned that it was, not Jehovah, but Satan that caused all his suffering.
Due to improper rendering of Hebrew and Greek words, it causes confusion and at times, even outright misdirection of what our Creator, Jehovah God, has said in his word the Bible. The King James Bible is well noted as being inaccurate throughout, mistranslating words and complete phrases. When one sincerely examines (bachan) both ancient Hebrew and Greek manuscripts without bias, these can determine that the way many Bibles read is not "on the mark".
Thence, James wrote that "with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try (Greek apeirastos (from G1 as a negative particle) , meaning "untried, i.e. untemptable", G551) anyone."(James 1:13) However, he has and will pass judgment against those who, in the final analysis, are judged as "goats" (Matt 25:32, 33), unteachable by him, and therefore rebellious.
