Why Does God Tolerate Injustice?

1

¶ Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

2

Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

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 hide themselves together.

5

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

6

They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

7

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they 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

They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

10

They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

11

Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

12

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
