The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless, but destruction to evildoers.
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek,
I will make them strong in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name,” declares the Lord.
but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;
They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.
But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures; they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’
On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
Is not calamity for the unrighteous, and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
