What is deceptively offered, and what thouest expectantly receives, are two different ends. Ecclesiastes 3:16-18 New King James Version Injustice Seems to Prevail 16 Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there. 17 I said in my heart, “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.” 18 I said in my heart, “Concerning the condition of the sons of men [as Daniel of Babylon], God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”
