'Wicked' in the Bible

“How well you prepare your pathTo seek and obtain [adulterous] love!Even the most wicked of womenHave learned [indecent] ways from you.

‘For wicked men are found among My people,They watch like fowlers who lie in wait;They set a trap,They catch men.

The bellows blow fiercely,The lead is consumed by the fire;In vain they continue refining,But the wicked are not separated and removed.

You, O Lord are [uncompromisingly] righteous and consistently just when I plead my case with You;Yet let me discuss issues of justice with You:Why has the way of the wicked prospered?Why are those who deal in treachery (deceit) at ease and thriving?

“So I will rescue you out of the hand of the wicked,And I will redeem you from the [grasping] palm of the terrible and ruthless [tyrant].”

“Behold, the tempest of the Lord has gone forth in wrath,A whirling tempest;It will whirl and burst on the heads of the wicked.

‘A noise has come to the end of the earth,For the Lord has a controversy with and an indictment against the nations.He is entering into judgment with all mankind;As for the wicked, He has given them to the sword,’ says the Lord.”

Behold, the tempest of the Lord!Wrath has gone forth,A sweeping and gathering tempest;It will burst on the head of the wicked.
