This life is not all there is. They may do well in this life - but there is an eternity coming - and that is straight from God's Word to them.
Here are some answers:
Psalm 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.
Psalm 17:
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who assail me,from my mortal enemies who surround me.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who assail me, from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10 They close up their callous hearts, and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me, with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey, like a great lion crouching in cover.
13 Rise up, O LORD , confront them, bring them down; rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
14 O LORD, by your hand save me from such men, from men of this world whose reward is in this life.
I know that, my excellent friend. I was merely referring to how things seem to work IN this life. Be a murderously corrupt slimy no-good scum of a politician, a hideous threat to humanity, and nothing bad will ever happen to you. It's an excreble axiom, but all the bloodthirsty tyrants seem to be able to dodge all possible threats.
The day of reckoning, of course, WILL come. Just not soon enough.
