What does the Bible say about the wickedness of man?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible describes the wickedness of man as being great, where every imagination of his heart is only evil continually (Genesis 6:5).

The Scriptures highlight the profound wickedness of mankind, stating that 'the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually' (Genesis 6:5). This portrayal is not an exaggeration but a divine assessment of humanity's fallen state, reflecting the catastrophic impact of sin since the fall of Adam. Sin has so corrupted human nature that every thought and intention manifests as evil, showing the need for divine intervention for redemption. Furthermore, Romans 8:22 reminds us that the whole creation groans under the burden of sin, emphasizing that the fault lies squarely within humanity and not creation itself.
