Bible Verses About Wicked

Far from the wicked is salvation, For Thy statutes they have not sought.

As to those turning to their crooked ways, Jehovah causeth them to go with workers of iniquity. Peace on Israel!

Because I have called, and ye refuse, I stretched out my hand, and none is attending,

And ye slight all my counsel, And my reproof ye have not desired.

I also in your calamity do laugh, I deride when your fear cometh,

When your fear cometh as destruction, And your calamity as a hurricane doth come, When on you come adversity and distress.

Then they call me, and I do not answer, They seek me earnestly, and find me not.

Because that they have hated knowledge, And the fear of Jehovah have not chosen.

They have not consented to my counsel, They have despised all my reproof,

To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,

Whose paths are crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.

For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not some to stumble.

A man of worthlessness, a man of iniquity, Walking with perverseness of mouth,

Winking with his eyes, speaking with his feet, Directing with his fingers,

Frowardness is in his heart, devising evil at all times, Contentions he sendeth forth.

Therefore suddenly cometh his calamity, Instantly he is broken--and no healing.

Blessings are for the head of the righteous, And the mouth of the wicked cover doth violence.

Whoso is walking in integrity walketh confidently, And whoso is perverting his ways is known.

The lips of the righteous delight many, And fools for lack of heart die.
