What does the Bible say about the wicked and the righteous?

Answered in 4 sources

Psalm 37 contrasts the wicked and the righteous, emphasizing that the wicked will perish while the Lord upholds the righteous.

In Psalm 37, the psalmist draws a sharp distinction between the wicked and the righteous. The wicked are described as those who scheme and plunder, living without regard for God's law, and ultimately face divine judgment and destruction. In contrast, the righteous are upheld by the Lord; they embody mercy and faithfulness, and they trust in God's provision. Verse 17 states, 'The arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.' This psalm reassures believers that despite the seeming prosperity of the wicked, God's justice will ultimately prevail, leading to the eternal safety and blessing of His people.
