'Evil' in the Bible

But better than both is the one who has not been born and has not seen the evil things that are done on earth.

During the days of my fleeting life I have seen both of these things: Sometimes a righteous person dies prematurely in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked person lives long in spite of his evil deeds.

This alone have I discovered: God made humankind upright, but they have sought many evil schemes.

When a sentence is not executed at once against a crime, the human heart is encouraged to do evil.

This is the unfortunate fact about everything that happens on earth: the same fate awaits everyone. In addition to this, the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives -- then they die.

For God will evaluate every deed, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
