Ecclesiastes 8: 14 begins with he (King Solomon) sees the righteous getting what the wicked deserves and the wicked getting what the righteous deserves. Aptly put we don’t always get what we deserve. (as with the case of Job) as it is with Yeshua who knew no sin but became sin for us; he got a punishment, he did not deserve because of you and me.
He paid a debt he did not owe, he got what we sinners deserve, a righteous savior took on our sins, so he would redeem us.
The good news is he rose again the third day: so, Elohim justifies Yeshua for his suffering, shame and death.

Job 34:11
For according to a man’s DEEDs, He repays him; according to a man’s ways He brings consequences.
This Elohim justifying us according to our deeds. Man to Man we may not get what we deserve, as Solomon is a King like Yeshua who observes this things and notices this, but Elohim justifies us still. He sent his son to reconcile us back him. This is why Elohim came, this is why Elohim was born. He came to justify us, suffered what he didn’t deserve as we all would (Philippians 3 vs 8).
We don’t always get what we deserve as Christ didn’t deserve to die yet the father justified Christ by raising him up on the 3rd day so that in him, we would be justified.
