Bible Verses About Wicked

Salvation is far away from the wicked, because they don't seek your laws.

But as for those who turn aside to their own crooked ways, may ADONAI turn them away, along with those who do evil. Shalom on Isra'el!

Because you refused when I called, and no one paid attention when I put out my hand,

but instead you neglected my counsel and would not accept my reproof;

I, in turn, will laugh at your distress, and mock when terror comes over you

yes, when terror overtakes you like a storm and your disaster approaches like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble assail you.

Then they will call me, but I won't answer; they will seek me earnestly, but they won't find me.

Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of ADONAI,

they refused my counsel and despised my reproof.

They will save you from the way of evil and from those who speak deceitfully,

who leave the paths of honesty to walk the ways of darkness,

who delight in doing evil and take joy in being stubbornly deceitful,

from those whose tracks are twisted and whose paths are perverse.

They will save you from a woman who is a stranger, from a loose woman with smooth talk,

who abandons the ruler she had in her youth and forgets the covenant of her God.

Her house is sinking toward death, her paths lead to the dead.

None who go to her return; they never regain the path to life.

For they can't sleep if they haven't done evil, they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone fall.

A scoundrel, a vicious man, lives by crooked speech,

winking his eyes, shuffling his feet, pointing with his fingers.

With deceit in his heart, he is always plotting evil and sowing discord.

Therefore disaster suddenly overcomes him; unexpectedly, he is broken beyond repair.

Blessings are for the head of the righteous, but the speech of the wicked is a cover for violence.

He who walks purely walks securely, but he who walks in crooked ways will be found out.

The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
