So far this is what I can find:

"justice tempered with mercy":

"Mercy seasons Justice"

Shakespeare "Merchant of Venice" Act IV sc. i.

"I shall temper so justice with mercy"

-Milton "Paradise Lost" Bk 10, line 77 <ca 1795>

(oldcomputers - at - volcanomail.com)

A slightly earlier source:

"For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment. " James 2:13, NET Bible

A more modern version used by Joel Rosenberg in his book Paladins

"Justice tempered only by mercy; mercy tempered only by justice"

What does 'misereri nobis' mean?

The phrase 'misereri nobis' means to have mercy on us. Latin has two similar verbs that both mean 'to commiserate', 'to have compassion on', or 'to pity'. This form, with the infinitive as 'misereri', has 'misereor' as the first person present indicative. The other form has 'misereo' as the first person; and 'miserere' as the infinitive and as the second person singular imperative. And this is the form that's known from its incorporation in the mass. The priest says, 'Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis', which means 'Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us'. The congregation responds, 'Miserere nobis, Miserere nobis, Dona nobis pacem', which means 'Have mercy on us, Have mercy on us, Grant us peace'.

Where does justice for all comes from first appear?

In the King James version the phrase - justice for all - does not appear at all. the phrase - justice unto all - appears once * 2 Sam 8:15 And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people. the phrase - justice among all - appears once * 1 Chr 18:14 So David reigned over all Israel, and executed judgment and justice among all his people. The only other occasion where the word - justice - appears in the same verse as the word - all - is * Jer 50:7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
