About the wicked (and the righteous)

 Ezekiel 33:11 Say to them: ‘As I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn, turn from your evil ways! For why should you die, O house of Israel?’

Isaiah 55:7-8 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.  “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 57:19-20 “I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace to him who is far off and to him who is near,” Says the Lord, “And I will heal him.” But the wicked are like the troubled sea, When it cannot rest, Whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.

Proverbs 11:23
The desire of the righteous is only good, but the expectation of the wicked is wrath.

Proverbs 10:24
The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted.

Proverbs 15:28 The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.

Proverbs 10:11
The mouth of the righteous is a well of life, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Proverbs 12:13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous will come through trouble.

Proverbs 24:15-16 Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; Do not plunder his resting place; For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.
