Only a simpleton would not know,
and only a fool would not understand this:
Though the wicked sprout like weeds
and evil doers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever.
But you, O LORD, will be exalted forever.
Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this:
Psalm 73:22
I was so foolish and ignorant--
I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you. (see all Psalm 73)
Psalm 94:8
Think again, you fools!
When will you finally catch on? (see all Psalm 94)
Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
2 Kings 19:26
"That is why their people have so little power
and are so frightened and confused.
They are as weak as grass,
as easily trampled as tender green shoots.
They are like grass sprouting on a housetop,
scorched before it can grow lush and tall." (see verses 20-37)
Psalm 37:1-2
Don't worry about the wicked
or envy those who do wrong.
For like grass, they soon fade away.
Like spring flowers, they soon wither. (see all Psalm 37)
Psalm 94:23
God will turn the sins of evil people back on them.
He will destroy them for their sins.
The LORD our God will destroy them. (see all Psalm 94)
Proverbs 21:15
Justice is a joy to the godly,
but it terrifies evildoers. (see all chapter 21)
Proverbs 24:19-20
Don't fret because of evildoers;
don't envy the wicked.
For evil people have no future;
the light of the wicked will be snuffed out.
Malachi 4:1 The LORD of Heaven's Armies says, "The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. On that day the arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw. They will be consumed--roots, branches, and all."
(see all Malachi)
