Thematic Bible: What wickedness does


Thematic Bible



Your own evil will discipline you;
your own apostasies will reprimand you.
Think it over and see how evil and bitter it is
for you to abandon the Lord your God
and to have no fear of Me.
This is the declaration
of the Lord God of Hosts.

For wickedness burns like a fire
that consumes thorns and briers
and kindles the forest thickets
so that they go up in a column of smoke.

Your wickedness affects a person like yourself,
and your righteousness another human being.

Righteousness guards people of integrity,
but wickedness undermines the sinner.
