'Evil' in the Bible

For there is a man whose labour hath been with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill, and who leaveth it to a man that hath not laboured therein, to be his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

and more fortunate than both is he who hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and draw near to hear, rather than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

There is a grievous evil that I have seen under the sun: riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt;

or those riches perish by some evil circumstance, and if he have begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came so doth he go away, and what profit hath he, in having laboured for the wind?

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it is frequent among men:

one to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honour, and he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and a sore evil.

Be not hasty to go out of his sight; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatever pleaseth him,

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart knoweth time and manner.

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his days, yet I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, because they fear before him;

This is an evil among all that is done under the sun, that one thing befalleth all: yea, also the heart of the children of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live; and after that, they have to go to the dead.

For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are taken with the snare, like them are the children of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, as an error that proceedeth from the ruler:

Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.

Then remove discontent from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.

And remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, of which thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.
