Wicked / Wickedness – from “Job” the most Afflicted and Double Blessed


And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypocrites  are:
for they love to pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”
– Matt: 6:5

I am no preacher, but, am a sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, while reading Bible, the following verses were given in the context of “Wicked / Wickedness from the book of Job, in The Old Testament, from The Holy Bible-KJV. 

Job-3:17 There the wicked cease  from troubling;
and there the weary be at rest.

Job-4:8 Even as I have seen,
they that plow iniquity,
and sow wickedness,
reap the same.

and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

Job-9:22 This  is one  thing, therefore I said  it,
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

Job-9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:
he covereth the faces of the judges thereof;
if not, where,  and who  is he?

Job-9:29  If I be wicked,
why then labour I in vain?

Job-10:3  Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress,
that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands,
and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

Job-10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked;
and  there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.

Job-10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me;
and  if I be righteous,
yet will I not lift up my head.
I am full of confusion;
therefore see thou mine affliction;

Job-11:11 For he knoweth vain men:
he seeth wickedness also;
will he not then consider  it?

Job-11:14 If iniquity  be in thine hand,
put it far away,
and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

Job-11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
and they shall not escape,
and their hope  shall be as the giving up of the ghost.

Job-13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God?
and talk deceitfully for him?

and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

Job-18:21 Surely such  are the dwellings of the wicked,
and this  is the place  of him that knoweth not God.

Job-20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked  is short,
and the joy of the hypocrite  but for a moment?

though he hide it under his tongue;

Job-20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

Job-20:29 This  is the portion of a wicked man from God,
and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

become old, yea,
are mighty in power?

the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Job-21:28 For ye say, Where  is the house of the prince?
and where  are the dwelling places of the wicked?

they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

which wicked men have trodden?

but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

he shall be no more remembered;
and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

nor my tongue utter deceit.

and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

and the heritage of oppressors,
which they shall receive of the Almighty.

14. If his children be multiplied,  it is for the sword:
and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15. Those that remain of him shall be buried in death:
and his widows shall not weep.
16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17. He may prepare  it, but the just shall put  it on,
and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18. He buildeth his house as a moth,
and as a booth  that the keeper maketh.
19. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered:
he openeth his eyes, and he  is not.
20. Terrors take hold on him as waters,
a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth:
and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22. For  God shall cast upon him, and not spare:
he would fain flee out of his hand.
23.  Men shall clap their hands at him,
and shall hiss him out of his place.

Job-29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked,
and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

and a strange  punishment to the workers of iniquity?

and walketh with wicked men.

Job-34:10 Therefore hearken unto me,
ye men of understanding:
far be it from God,
that he should do wickedness;
and  from the Almighty,
that he should commit iniquity.

Job-34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,
neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

Job-34:18  Is it fit to say to a king,
Thou art wicked?
and to princes,
Ye are ungodly?

Job-34:26 He striketh them as wicked men
in the open sight of others;

27. Because they turned back from him,
and would not consider any of his ways:
28. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him,
and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

Job-34:36 My desire  is that Job may be tried
unto the end
because of  his answers for wicked men.

Job-35:8 Thy wickedness  may hurt a man as thou  art;
and thy righteousness  may profit the son of man.

Job-36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked:
but giveth right to the poor.

Job-36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:
judgment and justice take hold  on thee.

Job-38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

Job-38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden,
and the high arm shall be broken.

and bring him low;
and tread down the wicked in their place.
