The truth may be irrelevant in the courts of man but not in the eyes of God nor in the eyes of any decent minded human being

I wasn't aware that He had expressed an opinion on the matter.

Is. 5:20 [KJV]
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

Proverbs 17:5 [KJV]
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.

Micah 6:8 [Young’s Literal Translation]
He hath declared to thee, O man, what is good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except — to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?

How, Oh Non-Sequitur, can there be justice without truth?
I should also say that the Isiah reference speaks directly to calling true the truth.

It’s a constant temptation for people to conflate their desires and the redress of their personal sense of grievance with the will of God.

As the Bible says, humility leads to wisdom. It lifts the blinding veil of our own self-centered consciousness.
