Apparent injustice » Sometimes attributed to God
Yahweh, how long will I cry, and you will not hear? I cry out to you "Violence!" and will you not save?
The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their God in their hands.
"Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?
For all day long have I been plagued, and punished every morning.
All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in his evildoing.
All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, to the unclean, to him who sacrifices, and to him who doesn't sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; he who takes an oath, as he who fears an oath.
You are righteous, Yahweh, when I contend with you; yet I would reason the cause with you: why does the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they at ease who deal very treacherously?
Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, house of Israel: Is my way not equal? Aren't your ways unequal?
saying, 'These last have spent one hour, and you have made them equal to us, who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat!'
