I frequently hear from people who express dismay at all of the injustices in the world - and how so many seem to "get away with" the crimes that they commit. Wrongdoers may not be identified and charged. Or they may be brought to trial, only to be found "not guilty" by a judge or jury that is either mistaken, or blatantly partial to one of their own kind. Or obvious war criminals are not brought to justice because their government has, for now, the power to protect their phoney "heroes" (in contrast to genuine heroes of the same nation who serve and represent their country honorably in battle i.e. they aren't cowardly sissy-boys who commit murder and rape of helpless civilians because they aren't man enough to do what they were sent to do - face opposing men in battle) from being brought to justice where the crimes were committed.
But does anyone ever "get away with" anything? No. Absolutely not.
"Vengeance belongeth unto Me, I will recompense, saith the Lord"
Man's justice is, by nature (by human nature, that is - animals have "nature" too, but animals don't lower themselves to behave like arrogant, Satan-minded humans) biased (the reason that some act may be a crime in one jurisdiction, but not a crime somewhere else). In that sense, humanity, as a whole, is not yet subject to pure justice.
But God's Justice is pure. God is not biased. God is not an arrogant hypocrite. God does not have a "clean record" for no better reason that, as is the case for millions of humans, He never got caught or prosecuted. God doesn't "turn a blind eye" to savage atrocity (see Violence). And God knows the Truth about everything. Skillful liars and shyster lawyers won't make it when God's Court is in session.
"12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him." (Luke 12:2-5 KJV)
"2:2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 2:3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?" (Romans 2:2-3 KJV)
"4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God." (1 Corinthians 4:5 KJV) "4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom" (2 Timothy 4:1 KJV)
"10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:30-31 KJV)
Fact Finder: Is anyone going to be able to prevent the LORD's Justice?
