7 Bible Verses about The Righteous Perishing

The godly person has perished from the land,
And there is no upright person among men.
All of them lie in wait for bloodshed;
Each of them hunts the other with a net.

The righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to heart;
And devout men are taken away, while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from evil,

“I am a joke to my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and blameless man is a joke.

There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.

I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.

He enters into peace;
They rest in their beds,
Each one who walked in his upright way.

You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.
