Job 27:8

8 ^aFor what is the hope of the godless ^bwhen God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?

Psalms 37:35-36

35 ^cI have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like ^da green laurel tree. ^{▼▼The identity of this tree is uncertain}
36 But he passed away, ^{▼▼Or But one passed by} and behold, ^ghe was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.

Psalms 73:3-9

3 ^hFor I was ⁱenvious of the arrogant
when I saw the ^jprosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death;
their bodies are fat and sleek.
5 They are not in trouble as others are;
they are not ^kstricken like the rest of mankind.
6 Therefore pride is ^ltheir necklace;
violence covers them as ^ma garment.
7 Their ⁿeyes swell out through fatness;
their hearts overflow with follies.
8 They scoff and ^ospeak with malice;
loftily they threaten oppression.
9 They set their mouths against the heavens,
and their tongue struts through the earth.

Psalms 73:18-20

18 Truly you set them in ^pslippery places;
you make them fall to ruin.
19 How they are destroyed ^qin a moment,
swept away utterly by ^rterrors!
20 Like ^sa dream when one awakes,
O Lord, when ^tyou rouse yourself, you despise them as phantoms.

Psalms 92:7

7 that though ^uthe wicked sprout like grass
and all ^vevildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;

Jeremiah 12:1-3

Jeremiah’s Complaint

1 ^wRighteous are you, O Lord,
when I complain to you;
yet I would plead my case before you.
^xWhy does the way of the wicked prosper?
Why do all ^ywho are treacherous thrive?
2 You plant them, and they take root;
they grow and produce fruit;
^zyou are near in their mouth
and far from their heart.
3 ^aaBut you, O Lord, know me;
^abyou see me, and test my heart toward you.
^acPull them out like sheep for the slaughter,
and set them apart for ^adthe day of slaughter.
