Isaiah 57:20
English Standard Version
20 (A)But the wicked are like the tossing sea;
for it cannot be quiet,
and its waters toss up mire and dirt.
Isaiah 3:11
English Standard Version
11 (A)Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
Job 18:5-14
English Standard Version
5 “Indeed, (A)the light of the wicked is put out,
and the flame of his fire does not shine.
6 The light is (B)dark in his tent,
and his lamp above him is put out.
7 His strong steps are shortened,
and his (C)own schemes throw him down.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
and he walks on its mesh.
9 (D)A trap seizes him by the heel;
a snare lays hold of him.
10 A rope is hidden for him in the ground,
a trap for him in the path.
11 (E)Terrors frighten him on every side,
and chase him at his heels.
12 His strength is famished,
and calamity is (F)ready for his stumbling.
13 It consumes the parts of his skin;
(G)the firstborn of death consumes his limbs.
14 He is torn from the tent in which he trusted
and is brought to (H)the king of terrors.
Proverbs 4:16-17
English Standard Version
16 For they (A)cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
(B)and drink the wine of violence.
Psalm 73:18-20
English Standard Version
Job 20:11-29
English Standard Version
12 “Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it (C)under his tongue,
13 though he is loath to let it go
and holds it in his mouth,
14 yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the venom of (D)cobras within him.
15 He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.
16 He will suck the poison of cobras;
(E)the tongue of a viper will kill him.
17 He will not look upon (F)the rivers,
the streams flowing with (G)honey and (H)curds.
18 He will (I)give back the fruit of his toil
and will not (J)swallow it down;
from the profit of his trading
he will get no enjoyment.
19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor;
he has seized a house that he did not build.
20 “Because he (K)knew no (L)contentment in his belly,
(M)he will not let anything in which he delights escape him.
21 There was nothing left after he had eaten;
therefore his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be in distress;
the hand of everyone in misery will come against him.
23 To fill his belly to the full,
God[a] will send his burning anger against him
and rain it upon him (N)into his body.
24 (O)He will flee from an iron weapon;
(P)a bronze arrow will strike (Q)him through.
25 It (R)is drawn forth and comes out of his body;
(S)the glittering point comes out of his (T)gallbladder;
(U)terrors come upon him.
26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures;
(V)a fire not fanned will devour him;
what is left in his tent will be consumed.
27 (W)The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
28 The possessions of his house will be carried away,
dragged off in the day of God's[b] wrath.
29 (X)This is the wicked man's portion from God,
(Y)the heritage decreed for him by God.”
Jude 12
English Standard Version
Job 15:20-24
English Standard Version
20 The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
through all the (A)years that are laid up for (B)the ruthless.
21 (C)Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
in (D)prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
22 He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
and he is marked for the sword.
23 He (E)wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
24 distress and anguish terrify him;
they (F)prevail against him, like a king ready for battle.
