I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
Hosea 4:14

Two thoughts:

First, God doesn't need to punish you when the consequences of your deeds are more than sufficient.

Second, those in positions of authority will be judged more harshly by God, but their judgment will impact all below them.
