Shameful Acts of Injustice (Gen. 34:1-4)
- Dinah makes an unwise decision to "see the women of the land."
- Dinah suffers through violation and humiliation.
Sinful Responses to Injustice (Gen. 34:5-31)
- Jacob's disgraceful indifference
- The brothers' deceptive plot and deadly vengeance
- Jacob's damaging pursuit of self-preservation
The Right Response to Injustice
- God will execute perfect justice against the wicked (Psalm 94:1-23; Revelation 19:1-3).
- We must overcome evil with good and leave vengeance to God and government (Romans 12:17-21, 13:1-4).
Main Idea: Human sin produces escalating destruction when it is answered with more sin. We must look to God for justice and deliverance.
