1 Do you rulers indeed speak justly?
Do you judge people with equity?
2 No, in your heart you devise injustice,
and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
Sometimes after living so comfortably in this world, living in a city like Singapore, sometimes I forget that the justice i seek is worldly justice. In Singapore we have many laws. When I say many laws, MANY laws. these laws cover things as trivial as chewing gum to murder. Really, like everything. As Singaporeans we are raised in an environment which is very safe and protected. We will almost never hear a gunshot outside of army. We would almost always boast about our police force. But hey, all these are temporary right? Our thoughts start to develop inclination to worldly justice. If someone hit you he shall go to jail. God did not say that, man said that. If you commit rape, that's life imprisonment. If you steal, of that is not that bad its a few months in jail. We seemed to build this hierarchy around sin. We rank the sin, some sin are more serious than others. Why? That is not godly! God says that all sin is equal in His eyes and He defines sin. Only God can mete out true justice. Only God can!
