Thematic Bible: Acknowledge, though the wicked prosper


Thematic Bible



O LORD, thou art more righteous than that I should dispute with thee: Nevertheless, let me talk with thee in things reasonable. How happeneth it, that the way of the ungodly is so prosperous? And that it goeth so well with them, which without any shame offend and live in wickedness?

Yea, I had almost also said even as they do; but lo, then should I have condemned the generation of thy children. Then thought I to understand this; but it was too hard for me, until I went into the Sanctuary of God. Then understood I the end of these men.
