Thematic Bible: Of the wicked, described as


Thematic Bible



What the sluggard desires will kill him, for his hands refuse to work.

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


For your hands are stained with blood and your fingers with sin; your lips speak lies, your tongue utters malicious words.

When you spread out your hands in prayer, I look the other way; when you offer your many prayers, I do not listen, because your hands are covered with blood.


Their webs cannot be used for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are sinful; they commit violent crimes.

No! You plan how to do what is unjust; you deal out violence in the earth.



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.


The Lord revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)
