“There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”

But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck. “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.

You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name. ... No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.

The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked; His soul hates the lover of violence. On the wicked He will rain down fiery coals and sulfur; a scorching wind will be their portion.

Yet because the wicked do not fear God, it will not go well with them, and their days will not lengthen like a shadow.

So they will eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive his due for the things done in the body, whether good or bad.

For judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

What will He do to you, and what will be added to you, O deceitful tongue? Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!
