August 14 Jeremiah 34, 51 God Uses Evil to Chasten the Evil

God used the power-hungry Babylonians to chasten the Israelites who had rebelled against God and forsaken Him. Yet, the Babylonians engaged is many cruelties and pagan worship, so they themselves were evil. They would later be punished by God for their sinful behavior - though God used the Babylonians' sinful behavior to punish the sinful behavior of His people, Israel.

Sin from the rejection of God will never go unpunished.god will punish all - eventually - for rejecting Him.

The wicked only prosper - for a time!!!! In this life or the next - our just God will mete out what is due for rejecting Him and the sin that comes from that rejection. See Psalm 73 if you see evil prospering around you unpunished.
