12 (A)Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that (B)it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. 13 But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

Isaiah 8:13
New King James Version
13 The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow;
Let Him be your fear,
And let Him be your dread.
Psalm 5:4-7
New King James Version
4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness,
Nor shall evil [a]dwell with You.
5 The (A)boastful shall not (B)stand in Your sight;
You hate all workers of iniquity.
6 You shall destroy those who speak falsehood;
The Lord abhors the (C)bloodthirsty and deceitful man.
7 But as for me, I will come into Your house in the multitude of Your mercy;
In fear of You I will worship toward [b]Your holy temple.
Psalm 7:9-12
New King James Version
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(A)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [a]minds.
10 [b]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (B)upright in heart.
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will (C)sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.

Before the face of the Most High,
