Thematic Bible: Evil doers


Thematic Bible




Concerning evil, both hands do it well.
The prince asks, also the judge, for a bribe,
And a great man speaks the desire of his soul;
So they weave it together.




For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.

Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men,
Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows;
For every one of them is godless and an evildoer,
And every mouth is speaking foolishness.
In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away
And His hand is still stretched out.

“You will not be united with them in burial,
Because you have ruined your country,
You have slain your people.
May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.

Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster
And does not retract His words,
But will arise against the house of evildoers
And against the help of the workers of iniquity.


For evildoers will be cut off,
But those who wait for the Lord, they will inherit the land.


A Psalm of David.
Do not fret because of evildoers,
Be not envious toward wrongdoers.
