Iniquity » The workers of iniquity
The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race, to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God. Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one! All those who behave wickedly do not understand -- those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to the Lord.
Do not drag me away with evil men, with those who behave wickedly, who talk so friendly to their neighbors, while they plan to harm them! Pay them back for their evil deeds! Pay them back for what they do! Punish them! For they do not understand the Lord's actions, or the way he carries out justice. The Lord will permanently demolish them.
Indeed, look at your enemies, O Lord! Indeed, look at how your enemies perish! All the evildoers are scattered!
O Lord, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked celebrate? They spew out threats and speak defiantly; all the evildoers boast. O Lord, they crush your people; they oppress the nation that belongs to you. read more.
