Apparent injustice » Sometimes attributed to God
O LORD, how long shall I cry, and you will not hear! even cry out unto you of violence, and you will not save!
The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God brings abundantly.
Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.
All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongs his life in his wickedness.
All things come 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 that sacrifices, and to him that sacrifices not: as is the good, so is the sinner; and he that swears, as he that fears an oath.
Righteous are you, O LORD, when I plead with you: yet let me talk with you of your judgments: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
Saying, These last have worked but one hour, and you have made them equal unto us, who have borne the burden and heat of the day.
