'Ruthless' in the Bible

“The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.

Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked,Out of the grasp of the wrongdoer and ruthless man,

Therefore a strong people will glorify You;Cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

For You have been a defense for the helpless,A defense for the needy in his distress,A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat;For the breath of the ruthlessIs like a rain storm against a wall.

Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens;Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is silenced.

But the multitude of your enemies will become like fine dust,And the multitude of the ruthless ones like the chaff which blows away;And it will happen instantly, suddenly.

For the ruthless will come to an end and the scorner will be finished,Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off;

Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon you,The most ruthless of the nations.And they will draw their swordsAgainst the beauty of your wisdomAnd defile your splendor.

“He and his people with him,The most ruthless of the nations,Will be brought in to destroy the land;And they will draw their swords against EgyptAnd fill the land with the slain.
