God is not absent from the moral disorder described in this chapter. He is the Creator of all things and the One who ultimately brings recompense. Both the fool and the transgressor will receive what is due to them. This is a reminder that God's justice operates even when human communities fail to enforce it.
Memory phrase: God rewards all people.
Talk about it: What does it mean that God rewards everyone according to their choices?
Prayer: God, help me fear You and do right always.
