7 Bible Verses about The Righteous Perishing
Most Relevant Verses
Godly people have vanished from the land;
there is no one upright among the people.
All of them wait in ambush to shed blood;
they hunt each other with a net.
The righteous one perishes,
and no one takes it to heart;
faithful men are swept away,
with no one realizing
that the righteous one is swept away
from the presence of evil.
I am a laughingstock to my friends,
by calling on God, who answers me.
The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.
There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.
In my futile life I have seen everything: there is a righteous man who perishes in spite of his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in spite of his evil.
He will enter into peace—
they will rest on their beds—
everyone who lives uprightly.
