  • Psalm 73:1-7
    Truly God is good to Israel,
    To such as are pure in heart.
    But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled;
    My steps had nearly slipped.
    For I was envious of the boastful,
    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,
    Nor are they plagued like other men.
    Therefore pride serves as their necklace;
    Violence covers them like a garment.
    Their eyes bulge with abundance;
    They have more than heart could wish.

     
  • Psalm 73:9-20
    They set their mouth against the heavens,
    And their tongue walks through the earth. Therefore his people return here,
    And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
    And they say, “How does God know?
    And is there knowledge in the Most High?”
    Behold, these are the ungodly,
    Who are always at ease;
    They increase in riches.
    Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain,
    And washed my hands in innocence.
    For all day long I have been plagued,
    And chastened every morning. If I had said, “I will speak thus,”
    Behold, I would have been untrue to the generation of Your children.
    When I thought how to understand this,
    It was too painful for me—
    Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
    Then I understood their end. Surely You set them in slippery places;
    You cast them down to destruction.
    Oh, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!
    They are utterly consumed with terrors.
    As a dream when one awakes,
    So, Lord, when You awake,
    You shall despise their image.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 7:15
    I have seen everything in my days of vanity:
    There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness,
    And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

     
  • Jeremiah 12:1
    Righteous are You, O LORD, when I plead with You;
    Yet let me talk with You about Your judgments.
    Why does the way of the wicked prosper?
    Why are those happy who deal so treacherously?

     
  • 1 Timothy 6:5
    useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.

  • 2 Corinthians 11:23-28
    Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness— besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches.

    "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,
    For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."
