Bible Verses About Wicked

He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.

He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.

He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.

For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.

Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.

Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.

In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.

When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.

Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.

It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him.

Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.

The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.

The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.

This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”

Why do the wicked live on, growing old and increasing in power?

Their descendants are established around them, and their offspring before their eyes.

Their homes are safe from fear; no rod of punishment from God is upon them.

Their bulls breed without fail; their cows bear calves and do not miscarry.

They send forth their little ones like a flock; their children skip about,

singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute.

They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol in peace.

Yet they say to God: ‘Leave us alone! For we have no desire to know Your ways.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, and what would we gain if we pray to Him?’

Still, their prosperity is not in their own hands, so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?
