Thou that art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and that canst not look on perverseness, wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy peace when the wicked swalloweth up the man that is more righteous than he;and makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?He taketh up all of them with the angle, he catcheth them in his net, and gathereth them in his drag: therefore he rejoiceth and is glad.Therefore he sacrificeth unto his net, and burneth incense unto his drag; because by them his portion is fat, and his food plenteous.Shall he therefore empty his net, and spare not to slay the nations continually?

Jehovah, how long shall the wicked, How long shall the wicked triumph?They prate, they speak arrogantly: All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
-
Psalms 73:3-28
For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.My flesh and my heart faileth; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.
-
Ezra 9:15
O Jehovah, the God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before thee because of this.
-
Job 21:7-15
Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol.And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

But if our unrighteousness commendeth the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who visiteth with wrath?( I speak after the manner of men.)God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from thee: shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
