Texts:  Genesis 34:1-31; Psalm 94:1-23; Revelation 19:1-3; Romans 12:17-13:4

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.
