“ Here’s something to think about. Have people who aren’t guilty ever been wiped out? Have honest people ever been completely destroyed?

“ Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned, or his children forced to search for food.

– if so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials, and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment at the day of judgment,

“ Surely, God does not reject a blameless man, nor does he grasp the hand of the evildoers.

During the days of my fleeting life I have seen both of these things: Sometimes a righteous person dies prematurely in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked person lives long in spite of his evil deeds.

He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.

So I reflected on all this, attempting to clear it all up. I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their works, are in the hand of God; whether a person will be loved or hated– no one knows what lies ahead.Everyone shares the same fate– the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the ceremonially clean and unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. What happens to the good person, also happens to the sinner; what happens to those who make vows, also happens to those who are afraid to make vows.

When the local people saw the creature hanging from Paul’s hand, they said to one another,“ No doubt this man is a murderer! Although he has escaped from the sea, Justice herself has not allowed him to live!”

“ It is all one! That is why I say,‘ He destroys the blameless and the guilty.’If a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks at the despair of the innocent.
