The death of the wicked isn't punitive so much as it's instructive. If God kills a man for his sins, he dies so that the living will see it and learn from it. We're supposed to learn from their deaths. Conversely, don't boast so much in the victories, life, blessings, and skills that God gives you, but in the God who gives them.

Three things that God loves:
1) Graciousness and generosity
2) Justice and mercy
3) Obedience to Torah

Jeremiah 9:22-24
