Judges 9
The men of Shechem treacherously killed most of Gideon's sons and eventually their treason was turned back on them. The son of Gideon who instigated the murder was also killed by a woman trying to kill others. This is the rough justice of a time that was much worse to live in than our times, though we have our own problems today.
The wicked may seem to prosper while the innocent suffer, but this is a very superficial judgment. The wicked, though they may die in their beds and leave many children, have gained nothing from their wickedness. Those who honour the Lord gain everything and can enjoy Him forever.
