And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them. And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honorable.Upset that the Chosen People have not worshiped him in the way he sees fit, God decides to oppress his followers as a form of punishment.
~ King James version ~
Tao oppresses no one.
~ possible Taoist alternative ~
Again, since Tao is unconcerned with worship and obedience, there is no one and nothing to be punished for. When humans feel that we are being punished, it is something of our own making.
