When wicked

May the Lord punish him for the blood he shed; behind my father David's back he struck down and murdered with the sword two men who were more innocent and morally upright than he -- Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah's army.

Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.

For this reason the law lacks power, and justice is never carried out. Indeed, the wicked intimidate the innocent. For this reason justice is perverted.

not like Cain who was of the evil one and brutally murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, but his brother's were righteous.

When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate as if to speak privately with him. Joab then stabbed him in the abdomen and killed him, avenging the shed blood of his brother Asahel.

For your lifeblood I will surely exact punishment, from every living creature I will exact punishment. From each person I will exact punishment for the life of the individual since the man was his relative.

"Whoever strikes someone so that he dies must surely be put to death.

Moreover, you must not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of death; he must surely be put to death.

For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; he did not overlook their cry for help

So God said to Noah, "I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth.

So the Lord destroyed every living thing that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, creatures that creep along the ground, and birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived.

For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with plague, and you would have been destroyed from the earth.

May the Lord be constantly aware of them, and cut off the memory of his children from the earth!

but the wicked will be removed from the land, and the treacherous will be torn away from it.

You people of Israel should tell those nations this: 'These gods did not make heaven and earth. They will disappear from the earth and from under the heavens.'
