There will come a time of judgement.
What does God require of us? Micah 8:6
Be fair to ALL people

God can no longer delay punishment for Israel. His justice requires judgment. Faithlife Bible.
Three reasons are given as to why the nation deserved this terrible outpouring of God’s wrath—serious and undeniable (1) iniquity, or guilt of sinful offenses; (2) bloodshed, or violence; and (3) perversity, or more precisely injustice. The people and especially rich rulers willfully chose to believe that God did not see or care what injustices went on. NKJ Bible.

9 Then He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of bloodshed, and the city full of perversity; for they say, ‘The Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!’ 10 And as for Me also, My eye will neither spare, nor will I have pity, but I will recompense their deeds on their own head.”

2 Kings 21:16 (NKJV)

Isaiah 29:15 (NKJV)

Isaiah 65:6 (NKJV)
6 “Behold, it is written before Me:
I will not keep silence, but will repay—
Even repay into their bosom—
