Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.

So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

“ But look, God will not reject a person of integrity, nor will he lend a hand to the wicked.

I have seen everything in this meaningless life, including the death of good young people and the long life of wicked people.

He never takes his eyes off the innocent, but he sets them on thrones with kings and exalts them forever.

This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God’s hands, no one knows whether God will show them favor.The same destiny ultimately awaits everyone, whether righteous or wicked, good or bad, ceremonially clean or unclean, religious or irreligious. Good people receive the same treatment as sinners, and people who make promises to God are treated like people who don’t.

The people of the island saw it hanging from his hand and said to each other,“ A murderer, no doubt! Though he escaped the sea, justice will not permit him to live.”

Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God. That’s why I say,‘ He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’When a plague sweeps through, he laughs at the death of the innocent.
