Do you mean in the sense of a complete description is impossible because we cannot adequately describe the infinite with a finite mind/vocabulary? However, a fair effort can be made to describe God's positive attributes -- however incomplete that might be.

It is obvious from the context of the entire Bible that perfect justice does not entail everyone getting what they deserve. The only point that is abundantly clear is that a price has to be paid to restore a sinner to holiness. You are just applying your concept of justice to things you barely have a grasp of and then whining that God's justice does not align with yours. Oh well.
