Apparent injustice » Sometimes attributed to God
O Jehovah, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to You of violence, and You do not save!
The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, in whatever God brings to their hand.
Why do the wicked live? They grow old and become mighty in power.
For all the day long I have been plagued, and chastened every morning.
All things I have seen in the days of my vanity; there is a just one who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked one who prolongs life in his wickedness.
All happens alike to all; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. He who swears is as he who fears an oath.
Righteous are You, O Jehovah, that I might contend with You; yet let me speak with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those happy who deal treacherously?
Yet you say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not My way fair? Are your ways not unfair?
saying, These last have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
