Thematic Bible: Of the wicked, described as


Thematic Bible



What the lazy person craves will kill him, because his hands refuse to work.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,


For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your tongue mutters wickedness.

When you spread out your hands in prayer, I'll hide my eyes from you. Even though you pray repeatedly, I won't listen. Your hands are full of blood, your fingers drenched with iniquity."


Their cobwebs cannot become clothing, they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are deeds of iniquity, and acts of violence fill their hands.

As a matter of fact, in your heart you plan iniquities! In the land your hands are violent!


Their hands are filled with wicked schemes, and their right hands with bribes.

And speaking of evil, they practice it eagerly with both hands! Both leader and judge demand a bribe, the famous confess their perverted desires, and they scheme together.


The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude
