Kevin, your post helpfully brings the issues of social justice into our forum. You are reminding us that the prophets don't just issue judgment but do so *as a way of critique* of people's unethical behavior.

The *style* of these books does support your claim that in the prophets God dictates the punishment while in wisdom (at least in Provs) the consequences seem part of God's created order.

How do you think your thesis would work if you had chosen Ecclesiastes as your example of wisdom literature?
