Apparent injustice » Sometimes attributed to God
Jehovah, how long shall I cry and thou wilt not hear? I cry out unto thee, Violence! and thou dost not save.
The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth.
Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
For all the day have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
All this have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth by his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his days by his wickedness.
All things come alike to all: one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good, and to the clean, and to the unclean, to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.
Righteous art thou, Jehovah, when I plead with thee; yet will I speak with thee of thy judgments. Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
And ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear then, house of Israel. Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
saying, These last have worked one hour, and thou hast made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the heat.
