Verse 15
It seemed better for them to become self-assertive because then some good things would come their way. It was those who practiced wickedness who got ahead and grew stronger materially (cf. Malachi 2:17). For them life was all about material prosperity, so it seemed better to be wicked than righteous. Even though they tested the Lord’s patience and tried to provoke a reaction from Him by behaving as they did, they escaped His punishment only temporarily.
Be the first to react on this!
