Why Does God Tolerate Injustice?

1

Times are not hid from the Almighty: but they that know him, know not his days.

2

Some have removed landmarks, have taken away flocks by force, and fed them.

3

They have driven away the ass of the fatherless, and have taken away the widow's ox for a pledge.

4

They have overturned the way of the poor, and have oppressed together the meek of the earth.

5

Others like wild asses in the desert go forth to their work: by watching for a prey they get bread for their children.

6

They reap the field that is not their own, and gather the vintage of his vineyard whom by violence they have oppressed.

7

They send men away naked, taking away their clothes who have no covering in the cold:

8

Who are wet, with the showers of the mountains, and having no covering embrace the stones.

9

They have violently robbed the fatherless, and stripped the poor common people.

10

From the naked and them that go without clothing, and from the hungry they have taken away the ears of corn.

11

They have taken their rest at noon among the stores of them, who after having trodden the winepresses suffer thirst.

12

Out of the cities they have made men to groan, and the soul of the wounded hath cried out, and God doth not suffer it to pass unrevenged.
