Jer 12:1-3
1 Righteous are You, O Lord, when I plead with You; Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are those happy who deal so treacherously? 2 You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; They grow, yes, they bear fruit. You are near in their mouth But far from their mind. 3 But You, O Lord, know me; You have seen me, And You have tested my heart toward You. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, And prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Why does evil in the world seem to go unchecked? Why do bad people seem to get ahead? They even talk about God - but He is not in their thoughts at all; it is just for show. God will allow them to choose that path and face judgment, but His desire is not for them to suffer forever, but be forgiven in Christ. All have gone astray and none seeks Him unless He calls and they listen to their Master's voice. Ezekiel 18:23
