maybe justice is never carried out in the way in which we would like straight away, and it's a case of the law and loop holes protecting everybody, w
But one day of course everyone will have there Justice, 🙂.
I often wonder about the questions you raise, and I often end up thinking there's a reason why God is not acting straight away and answering prayers straight away, may have something to do with the real culprits evil spirits.
I do get a bit unstuck with people needing healing from terminal diseases, and I often wonder if there is reasons behind why many people haven't been healed to. But i would never like to think God doesn't care about an individual he doesn't heal. I like to think he's calling them home for some reason 🙂

You seem to be forgetting the final judgement.. What if God allows them to have a life of richness knowing that they have rejected His WORD (The LORD Jesus Christ) It can be seen as a curse upon them to be so wealthy and powerful that it reinforces their rejection of the LORD Jesus.. Ensuring their eternal place in the Lake of Fire..

But more important, the book of Deuteronomy provides many rules to limit the king’s power (Deut 17:14-20): the king must be from the people of Israel and chosen by their deity; he must not multiply horses for himself or send the people back to Egypt to acquire them; he must not multiply wives for himself; and he must not acquire excessive silver and gold for himself.
Yet Solomon did not do any of these. He took many wives, went to Egypt for horses and enriched himself. GOD still blessed him. Job was praised by GOD for his righteousness and he still suffered. This is why I got mad at the pastors and people in my church. They blamed any problems in your life on sin. You must have sin in your life. An answer that requires no thinking.....just point your finger.
I was talking to a couple in my church, The husband told me they had gone to a pastor because of problems they were having in their marriage. The pastor said they were having problems because they had sex before they got married. I looked at the husband and said...."You've been married for 10 years and have 3 kids. Every marriage has problems. It has nothing to do with you and your wife having sex before you were married" The pastor was blaming their problems on them having sex before they got married....10 YEARS AGO!!!!
John, The lord Knows the suffering, there is a reason for everything.
King James Bible Rev 21:4
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Know that those who cause unnecessary violence against individuals and destroy the earth will be Judged they will not escape unless they repent. Judgment and retribution belongs to the LORD! They will not escape.
King James Bible Rom12:19
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Blessings

have you tried a daily prayer of how can I help you today lord.
You'll be pleasantly surprised 🙂.
I came to the conclusion years ago that the lord also needs his prayers answering, and what I came to realise is the number one prayer of the lord is he needs people who are willing to help others, on the basis that what ever your will to do for others, you will be happy for whatever you get back in return, what I also found was before to long I often found my rewarded in some way.
You may even get to meet people who may also be able to help you 🙏

No good hoping that God would step in ------you have to pray and ask God to step in -----God gave humankind complete dominion over this earth -----so God has to be invited to step in --If God just stepped in and took over everytime a war broke out or disaster happened He would be doing so illegally ----and breaking His own command of giving humans dominion over the earth and and animals
There is Protocol for answered Prayer to --so one has to pay attention to that and do what it says to get your prayer answered -----
Hebrew word for dominion is
Strong's #7287: radah (pronounced raw-daw')
a primitive root; to tread down, i.e. subjugate; specifically, to crumble off:--(come to, make to) have dominion, prevail against, reign, (bear, make to) rule,(-r, over), take.

One thing I did learn was to never again help two of my siblings and not to have anything to do with them.
One brother was about to be homeless. The LORD said to take him in and provide for him. I did for over a year until he got his Social Security and pension. He was taking in more than me. He did not want to pay any rent or help with the housing or food cost. He expected me to take care of him. GOD did get him out of my house after this.
Later one of my sister's lost her apartment because she was giving everything to her adult children. When she lost her apartment, not one of her kids offered to help her. The LORD said to take her in and help her. After about 6 months she got a Workers Comp settlement, $36,000, plus $1700 a month from Social Security. GOD had blessed her with major income. More than enough to get by......she gave ALL of it to her adult children. She asked me to lower her rent to make up what she gave away.....once again GOD got her out of my house.
I believe GOD showed me to never help them again. Keep them out of my life. He blessed them and they squandered his blessings. They had more income than I ever had, yet they refused to help me in any way. Both expected me to care to them, But it came at a major cost to me. That is where I struggle.

“So it is God who decides to show mercy. We can neither choose it nor work for it. “
Jesus gave believers a choice to be set free from bondage and mercy is the key
“Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged:
condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned:
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall be given into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”
Luke 6:36-
We can choose to hear and believe the lord that’s our choice
“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Matthew 6:14-15 KJV
God has come and spoken his word in the gospel and sent it to everyone in the world God has already declared mercy in the gospel we have to accept it and believe and start to follow
Notice when Jesus says be merciful there’s a blessing attatched when he says forgive there’s a blessing attatched when he says give there’s a blessing attatched when he says don’t condemn others there’s a blessing attatched
he’s offering us a choice but we have to hear the gospel to hear the choice

To be fair; statistically speaking, if you have sex before marriage that is a precursor to marital problems, like adultery because you were acting on carnal instincts when you made that choice to get married and you weren't in your right mind. I know how you feel about Corinthians- but I'm telling you, without a doubt, that people more often simply fail to exercise self-control that they possess than the problem being an actual lack of self-control.
But regardless, a Pastor pointing out a problem alone is NOT offering a solution, though... and if they are both Christians now, they should be readily able to overcome the statistics. Pastors should know this- especially married ones.
Calvary chapel milquetoast.
Bittersweet; but it's good. God knows what he's doing. It's like the Passover- the bitter herbs with the lamb. We have to spiritually eat those herbs, right? But at the end of the day, we're eating the Passover, and that's what's important.
