Thematic Bible: Evil doers


Thematic Bible



But there is little hope for you ever doing good, you who are so accustomed to doing evil. Can an Ethiopian change the color of his skin? Can a leopard remove its spots?

They are determined to be experts at doing evil; government officials and judges take bribes, prominent men make demands, and they all do what is necessary to satisfy them.




Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.

Who will rise up to defend me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?

So the sovereign master was not pleased with their young men, he took no pity on their orphans and widows; for the whole nation was godless and did wicked things, every mouth was speaking disgraceful words. Despite all this, his anger does not subside, and his hand is ready to strike again.

You will not be buried with them, because you destroyed your land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again.

Yet he too is wise and he will bring disaster; he does not retract his decree. He will attack the wicked nation, and the nation that helps those who commit sin.


Wicked men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land.


By David. Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed! Do not envy evildoers!
