I was reading through the 30s Psalms, and ce across this passage that I thought was interesting:
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, bit the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of His servants; none who take refuge in Him will be condemned." (34:19-22)
I think it's interesting how David notes that the righteous are afflicted, but are delivered. Then he says that the wicked are slated by affliction... In other words, the righteous pass, the wicked fail. Then he says again that God redeems those who take refuge in Him. Just a cool parallel that was just far enough apart that I almost missed it.
