Why Does God Tolerate Injustice?

1

Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know him see his days?

2

There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.

3

They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

4

They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.

5

Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wildernessyieldeththem bread for their children.

6

They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.

7

They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.

8

They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

9

There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;

10

So thatthey go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.

11

They make oil within the walls of these men; They treadtheirwinepresses, and suffer thirst.

12

From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.
