10 Bible Verses about Apparent Injustice

The tents of robbers are safe,
and those who provoke God are secure;
God’s power provides this.

Why do the wicked continue to live,
growing old and becoming powerful?

For I am afflicted all day long
and punished every morning.

In my futile life I have seen everything: there is a righteous man who perishes in spite of his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in spite of his evil.

Everything is the same for everyone: there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as for the one who takes an oath, so for the one who fears an oath.

You will be righteous, Lord,
even if I bring a case against You.
Yet, I wish to contend with You:
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all the treacherous live at ease?

“But you say, ‘The Lord’s way isn’t fair.’ Now listen, house of Israel: Is it My way that is unfair? Instead, isn’t it your ways that are unfair?

How long, Lord, must I call for help
and You do not listen
or cry out to You about violence
and You do not save?

‘These last men put in one hour, and you made them equal to us who bore the burden of the day and the burning heat!’

What should we say then? Is there injustice with God? Absolutely not!
