'Evil doer' in the Bible

Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.

There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.

While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!

So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.

So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?

Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?

That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,

That the pride of the sinner is short, and the joy of the evil-doer but for a minute?

For you say, Where is the house of the ruler, and where is the tent of the evil-doer?

This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all.

By me the great teeth of the evil-doer were broken, and I made him give up what he had violently taken away.

He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;

O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

The Lord has given knowledge of himself through his judging: the evil-doer is taken in the net which his hands had made. (Higgaion. Selah.)

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

For the evil-doer is lifted up because of the purpose of his heart, and he whose mind is fixed on wealth is turned away from the Lord, saying evil against him.

The evil-doer in his pride says, God will not make a search. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

Why has the evil-doer a low opinion of God, saying in his heart, You will not make search for it?

Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

On the evil-doer he will send down fire and flames, and a burning wind; with these will their cup be full.

The sin of the evil-doer says in his heart, There is no fear of the Lord before his eyes.

For in a short time the evil-doer will be gone: you will go searching for his place, and it will not be there.

I have seen the evil-doer in great power, covering the earth like a great tree.

The upright man will be glad when he sees their punishment; his feet will be washed in the blood of the evil-doer.

The curse of the Lord is on the house of the evil-doer, but his blessing is on the tent of the upright.

The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.

A good-for-nothing man is an evil-doer; he goes on his way causing trouble with false words;

The memory of the upright is a blessing, but the name of the evil-doer will be turned to dust.

The mouth of the upright man is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the evil-doer is a bitter cup.

The work of the upright gives life: the increase of the evil-doer is a cause of sin.

The tongue of the upright man is like tested silver: the heart of the evil-doer is of little value.

The thing feared by the evil-doer will come to him, but the upright man will get his desire.

The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow.

The righteousness of the good man will make his way straight, but the sin of the evil-doer will be the cause of his fall.

At the death of an upright man his hope does not come to an end, but the hope of the evil-doer comes to destruction.

By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer.

Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe.

The desire of the upright man is only for good, but wrath is waiting for the evil-doer.

If the upright man is rewarded on earth, how much more the evil-doer and the sinner!

In the road of righteousness is life, but the way of the evil-doer goes to death.

The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.

The offering of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but the prayer of the upright man is his delight.

The way of the evil-doer is disgusting to the Lord, but he who goes after righteousness is dear to him.

The heart of the upright gives thought to his answer; but from the mouth of the evil-doer comes a stream of evil things.

He who gives a decision for the evil-doer and he who gives a decision against the upright, are equally disgusting to the Lord.

When the evil-doer comes, a low opinion comes with him, and with the loss of honour comes shame.

To have respect for the person of the evil-doer is not good, or to give a wrong decision against the upright.

A high look and a heart of pride, *** of the evil-doer is sin.

The desire of the evil-doer is fixed on evil: he has no kind feeling for his neighbour.

The Upright One, looking on the house of the evil-doer, lets sinners be overturned to their destruction.

The evil-doer will be given as a price for the life of the good man, and the worker of deceit in the place of the upright.

The evil-doer makes his face hard, but as for the upright, he gives thought to his way.

Do not keep a secret watch, O evil-doer, against the fields of the upright man, or send destruction on his resting-place:

He who says to the evil-doer, You are upright, will be cursed by peoples and hated by nations.

Those who have no respect for the law give praise to the evil-doer; but such as keep the law are against him.

The upright man gives attention to the cause of the poor: the evil-doer gives no thought to it.

But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.

But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.

As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.

Even if you are kind to the evil-doer, he will not go after righteousness; even in the land of the upright he will still go on in his wrongdoing, and will not see the glory of the Lord.

Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.

You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?

When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

But if you give the evil-doer word of his danger, and he is not turned from his sin or from his evil way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing; but your life will be safe.

Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:

The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil-doer on himself.

But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.

Have I any pleasure in the death of the evil-doer? says the Lord: am I not pleased if he is turned from his way so that he may have life?

Again, when the evil-doer, turning away from the evil he has done, does what is ordered and right, he will have life for his soul.

When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly overtake you; and you say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way; death will overtake that evil man in his evil-doing, but I will make you responsible for his blood.

But if you make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his way for the purpose of turning him from it, and he is not turned from his way, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, but your life will be safe.

Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?

And when I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; if he is turned from his sin and does what is ordered and right;

If the evil-doer lets one who is in his debt have back what is his, and gives back what he had taken by force, and is guided by the rules of life, doing no evil; life will certainly be his, death will not overtake him.

Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?

Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. Selah.

The Lord in her is upright; he will not do evil; every morning he lets his righteousness be seen, he is unchanging; but the evil-doer has no sense of shame.

But to him who without working has faith in him who gives righteousness to the evil-doer, his faith is put to his account as righteousness.

For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;
