Definite contrast between treatment of godly and wicked. As a whole it seems like israel gets dealt with as a nation. There is wickedness in our nation and every nation. We can thank God he relates and judges us individually.

Not that long ago we read about the riches of Solomon and the building of the temple and all the intricate beauty and craft surrounding it but here we get a different picture where those things may not have been used for God's glory but for personal glory. That's the difference I see.
