SEARCH JUSTICE.

Love Justice, you rulers of the World. Set your minds sincerely on GOD, and look for HIM with all honesty.  (Wisdom 1:1)  GOD said, 'This is the COVENANT that I will make with them in the Days to come. I will put MY LAWS IN THEIR HEARTS and WRITE THEM on their MINDS."(Heb.10:15)
"So let us come near GOD with a sincere heart and a sure FAITH, with hearts that have been purified from a guilty conscience and with bodies washed with clean water (REPENTANCE). Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can TRUST GOD to KEEP HIS PROMISE. Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and do good. (22-24)

GOD will bring into Judgment both the Righteous and the Wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a Time to Judge every deed. (Ecclesiastes 3:17) Everything that happens in this World happens at the Time GOD chooses. (3:1) In this World you find wickedness where Justice and Right ought to be. (3:16) GOD is testing us, to show us that we are no better than animals. After all, the same fate awaits human beings and animals alike. (3:18) I looked again at all the injustice that goes on to this World. The oppressed were crying and no one would help them, because their oppressors had power on their side. I envy those who are dead and gone; they are better off than those who are still alive. But better off than either are those who have never been born, who have never seen the injustice that goes on in this World. (4: 1-3) I saw all of this when I thought about the things that are done in this World, a World where some people have power and others have to suffer under them. Yes, I have seen the wicked buried and in their graves, and on the way back from the cemetery people praise them in the very city where they did their evil. (8:9-10) There is something else I saw, a good example if how Wisdom is regarded in this World: 'There was a little town with without many people in it. A powerful king attacked it. He surrounded it and prepared to break through the walls. Someone lived there who was poor, but so clever that he could have saved the town. But no one thought about him.' I have always said that Wisdom is Better than Strength, but no one thinks of the poor as a wise or pays any attention to what they say. It is better to listen to the quiet words of someone wise than to the shouts of a ruler at a council of fools. (9:13-18)

GOD says, "The people of Israel have surrounded ME with lies and deceit, and the people of Judah are still rebelling against ME, the FAITHFUL and HOLY GOD. Everything that the people of Israel do from morning to night is useless and destructive. Treachery and acts of violence increase among them. They make treaties with the sky elemental spirits and do business with the earth elemental spirits."
"The LORD has an accusation to bring against the people of Judah; HE is also going to punish Israel for the way her people act. HE will pay them back for what they have done. (Hosea 11-12)

Old people have Wisdom, but GOD has WISDOM and POWER.
Old people have Insight; GOD has INSIGHT and POWER TO ACT.
When GOD tears down, who can rebuild, and who can be free those GOD imprisons? (Job 12:12)
GOD IS STRONG and ALWAYS VICTORIOUS; both deceived and deceiver are in HIS POWER.
HE takes away the wisdom of rulers and make leaders act like fools. HE dethrones kings and makes them prisoners; HE humbles priests and men of power. HE silences those who are trusted, and takes the wisdom of old people away. HE disgraces those in power and puts an end to the strength of the rulers. HE sends light to places dark as death. HE makes nations strong and great, but then HE defeats and destroy them. HE makes their leaders foolish and lets them wander confused and lost; they grope in the dark and stagger like drunkards. (16-25)

"When Justice is done, good people are happy, but evil people are brought to despair. Death is waiting for anyone who wanders away from good sense. (Proverbs 21:15-16)  The wicked bring on themselves the suffering they try to cause to good people. (22:18) Human wisdom, brilliance, insight -they are of no help if the LORD is against you." (22:30)
