Justice and Mercy
This words of wisdom talks about justice, gods mercy.
Two themes predominate in these chapters (from Genesis): from the Fall of Adam onwards we see both human pride and God’s response of justice and mercy. He showed justice to Adam and Eve in banishing them from the garden and telling them that they would one day die, but also mercy in providing a covering for them. He showed justice to Cain in condemning him to be a wanderer, but mercy in placing a mark on him so that no one would kill him. He punished the generation of Enoch (although not Enoch himself), but we see His mercy in saving Noah and his family and His patience in waiting, as he gave Methuselah such a long life.
