'Evil' in the Bible

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. And that man was pure and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil.

So the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil."

Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a pure and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil. And he still holds firmly to his integrity, so that you stirred me up to destroy him without reason."

But he replied, "You're talking like one of the godless women would do! Should we receive what is good from God, and not also receive what is evil?" In all this Job did not sin by what he said.

For evil does not come up from the dust, nor does trouble spring up from the ground,

He will deliver you from six calamities; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.

Is there any falsehood on my lips? Can my mouth not discern evil things?

For he knows deceitful men; when he sees evil, will he not consider it?

if iniquity is in your hand -- put it far away, and do not let evil reside in your tents.

how much less man, who is abominable and corrupt, who drinks in evil like water!

They conceive trouble and bring forth evil; their belly prepares deception."

God abandons me to evil men, and throws me into the hands of wicked men.

Surely such is the residence of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.'"

"If evil is sweet in his mouth and he hides it under his tongue,

that the evil man is spared from the day of his misfortune, that he is delivered from the day of God's wrath?

Will you keep to the old path that evil men have walked --

And he said to mankind, 'The fear of the Lord -- that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"

"Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.

Teach me what I cannot see. If I have done evil, I will do so no more.'

And he reveals this for correction, and says that they must turn from evil.

Take heed, do not turn to evil, for because of this you have been tested by affliction.
