Ecc 3.1-15;Jer 7-9;Joh 1.35-42;Jam 2.1-13;

Jer9.23-24 Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

This verse in the midst of judgement.

Only a few verses before Jeremiah is weeping. The judgement of God is foretold and through him. He is to tell it and he know he'll not be heeded. Also, he wasn't supposed to pray for those being judged--but, was allowed to weep. So, is God unjust? Not at all. He's the Rock, the Steady One. His arms also are there.
