They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. Psa 94:4Luk 12:19Zec 11:5-8Mic 6:10-12Deu 29:19Exo 15:9Isa 37:23Job 31:24
He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
The wicked, in the pride of his face, Psa 14:1-2Rom 1:28Act 8:22Gen 6:5Deu 8:14Rom 1:21Exo 5:2Isa 65:2
has no room in his thoughts for God.

He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight.
As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.

From ambushes, he murders the innocent.
His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. Psa 17:12Psa 59:3Mic 7:2Psa 35:10Amo 2:6-7Amo 3:4Amo 5:11-12Ezk 22:29

He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
The helpless are crushed. 1Sa 18:21-261Sa 23:21-221Sa 2:362Sa 15:5
They collapse.
They fall under his strength.
He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. Ezk 8:12Psa 94:7Psa 10:6Psa 73:11Ecc 8:11Ezk 9:9Psa 64:5Job 22:13-14

Arise, LORD! Mic 5:9Psa 9:12Psa 94:2Isa 33:10Psa 17:7Isa 26:11Psa 3:7Psa 7:6
God, lift up your hand!

and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?

You consider it to take it into your hand.
You help the victim and the fatherless.
Break the arm of the wicked. Job 38:15Psa 37:17Zep 1:12Psa 7:9Ezk 30:21-22Jer 2:34Zec 11:17Ezk 23:48
As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
The LORD is King forever and ever! Jer 10:10Psa 29:101Ti 1:17Dan 4:34Dan 6:26Deu 8:20Psa 145:131Ti 6:15-16
The nations will perish out of his land.
