'Godless' in the Bible
“So are the paths of all who forget God;And the hope of the godless will perish,
“His [godless] roots are wrapped around a pile of rocks,And he gazes at a house of stones.
“This also will be my salvation,For a godless man may not come before Him.
“For the company of the godless is barren,And fire consumes the tents of bribery (wrong and injustice).
“The upright will be [astonished and] appalled at this,And the innocent will stir himself up against the godless and polluted.
That the triumphing of the wicked is short,And the joy of the godless is only for a moment?
“For what is the hope of the godless, even though he has gained [in this world],When God takes his life?
So that godless men would not ruleNor be snares for the people.
“But the godless in heart store up anger [at the divine discipline];They do not cry [to Him] for help when He binds them [with cords of affliction].
