Justice does not allow him to live. The inhabitants of the island of Malta believed that “Justice,” a goddess of Greek mythology named Dike, was punishing Paul.

They supposed that the apostle must have been guilty of some crime for having been bitten by the viper. But they soon realized that they were mistaken , because the true justice of the Word of God was fulfilled in his life, and no harm came to him (Mark 16, 17-18).

The Lord will always avenge His chosen ones who wait with confidence and perseverance for the fulfillment of all His promises.
