Proverbs 19:1-29
Proverbs 19:9 "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish."
Sometimes it seems like the wicked are getting by with their sin. David put it like this, "For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked...They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment...they have more than heart could wish."
But toward the end of that chapter, we see the real conclusion. Psalm 73:17 "Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end." The Judge stands at the door. One day all the wrongs will be righted. Those who think themselves rich, will stand naked in their poverty.
"I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living." Psalm 27:13
