THE PLIGHT OF INJUSTICE

PROVERB 16:1 – END

ISAIAH 5:1 –END

SONGS OF SOLOMON 5:1-END

We are in a society where injustice prevails as a result of ignorant, people step on each other toes out of ignorant and negligent, forgetting that the nemesis of their action will always awaits them at the end:

ISAIAH 5:7

(7)       “For the Vineyard of Jehovah of armies is the house

of Israel

The men of Judah are the plantation he was fond of

He kept hoping Justice; but look! A cry of distress

(8)       Woe to those who join one house to another house

            And who annex one field to another field

            Until there is no more room

            And you live by yourselves on the land”

Injustice may favour you for the moment, but it bites like snake at the end; because whatsoever you gain by injustice, you must lose by injustice:

ISAIAH 5:20

 (20)    “Woe to those who say that good is bad

            And bad is good

            Those who substitute darkness for light

            and light for darkness

            Those who put bitter for sweet and sweet

            For bitter

(21)     Woe to those wise in their own eyes

            And discreet in their own sight

(22)     Woe to those who are mighty in drinking

Wine”

And to men who are masters at mixing

Alcoholic drinks

(23)     Those who acquit the wicked for a bribe

            And who deny justice to righteous

(24)     Therefore, just as the tongue consumes the

            Stubble

            And dry grass shrivels in the flames, their very roots

will rot

And disrespected the word of Holy one of Israel

(25)     That is why the anger of Jehovah burns against

            His people

            And he will stretch out his hand against them

            The mountains will quake

            And their corpses will like refuse in the street

            In view of all this, his anger has not turned back

            But his hand is still stretched to strike”

God must always use punishment to correct injustice in the society. He achieves these through the instituted authorities according to book of Romans 13:1-end, God has position the government to punish the guilty and liberate the innocent as well as establish justice in the society. So today God is sounding warning to any form of injustice as specified:

PROVERB 16: 27-30

(27)     “A Worthless man digs up what is bad

            His speech is like a scorching fire

(28)     A troublemaker causes dissension

            And a slanderer separates close friends

(29)     A violent man entices his neigbour

            And leads him in the wrong way

(30)     He winks his eye as he schemes harm

            He pinches his lips together as he carries

            Out mischief”

Let join hands to fight crime and injustice in our society as the will of God prevails. Remained Blessed
