For their feet run to evil,
And they hurry to shed blood.
For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall.
A heart that creates wicked plans,
Feet that run swiftly to evil,
Their feet run to evil,
And they rush to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are thoughts of wickedness [of sin, of injustice, of wrongdoing];
Devastation and destruction are in their highways.
And plot evil on their beds!
When morning comes, they practice evil
Because it is in the power of their hands.
“Their feet are swift to shed blood,
Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour.

The wicked » Characteristics of
For the wicked cannot sleep unless they do evil;
And they are deprived of sleep unless they make someone stumble and fall.
[and they will be] unloving [devoid of natural human affection, calloused and inhumane], irreconcilable, malicious gossips, devoid of self-control [intemperate, immoral], brutal, haters of good,
Verse Concepts
Ah, sinful nation,
A people loaded down with wickedness [with sin, with injustice, with wrongdoing],
Offspring of evildoers,
Sons who behave corruptly!
They have abandoned (rejected) the Lord,
They have despised the Holy One of Israel [provoking Him to anger],
They have turned away from Him.
Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword.
They aim venomous words as arrows,
wild waves of the sea, flinging up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of deep darkness has been reserved forever.
Verse Concepts
You love evil more than good,
And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
For there is nothing trustworthy or reliable or truthful in what they say;
Their heart is destruction [just a treacherous chasm, a yawning gulf of lies].
Their throat is an open grave;
They [glibly] flatter with their [silken] tongue.
The wicked plots against the righteous
And gnashes at him with his teeth.
But the wicked are like the tossing sea,
For it cannot be quiet,
And its waters toss up mire and mud.
