Thematic Bible: A characteristic of the wicked


Thematic Bible




“Now, then, hear this, you sensual one,
Who dwells securely,
Who says in your heart,
I am, and there is no one besides me.
I will not sit as a widow,
Nor know loss of children.’

So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,






Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble
And dry grass collapses into the flame,
So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust;
For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts
And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

When a wicked man comes, contempt also comes,
And with dishonor comes scorn.











“But you who forsake the Lord,
Who forget My holy mountain,
Who set a table for Fortune,
And who fill cups with mixed wine for Destiny,



And those who repay evil for good,
They oppose me, because I follow what is good.






Though while he lives he congratulates himself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—
