Who said anything about the gods dishing out divine justice? I’m talking about Fate, Nemesis, Fortune, Tyche, before whom even the gods are prostrated.

Yeah. Perversely, de Sade's Justine. Recall that at the conclusion, when finally free of her abusers and still dedicated to a life of virtue, Justine is split in two by a thunderbolt-- The End.
The Blasphemous implication is something like 'everyone else has had their way with her, now it's God's turn'.
It is of course a misuse of the convention, but there /you go..

If you're in for a more psychadelic take on it:

Daniel 7-12
2 Esdras
Reveltation

A more down to earth view can be found in

Isaiah 1-33

And a mortal reaction to divine justice is exemplified in:

Lamentations

...

Reading all that, one can see why the gnostics rejected Yahweh (Yaldabaoth) as an insane tyrant! Alternatively, Yahweh (God/Theos) is expressing divne justice which is perfectly good and beyond our comprehension.

When perfect goodness and insane tyranny are same thing, you start to realise how bizarre human thought is.
