37:35 I have seen ruthless evil men
growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
37:36 But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared!
I looked for them, but they could not be found.
73:17 Then I entered the precincts of God’s temple,
and understood the destiny of the wicked.
73:18 Surely
you bring them down
73:19 How desolate they become in a mere moment!
Terrifying judgments make their demise complete!
73:20 They are like a dream after one wakes up.
O Lord, when you awake
90:5 You bring their lives to an end and they “fall asleep.”
In the morning they are like the grass that sprouts up;
90:6 in the morning it glistens
at evening time it withers
92:7 When the wicked sprout up like grass,
and all the evildoers glisten,
it is so that they may be annihilated.
129:5 May all who hate Zion
be humiliated and turned back!
129:6 May they be like the grass on the rooftops
which withers before one can even pull it up,
129:7 which cannot fill the reaper’s hand,
or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
20:5 that the elation of the wicked is brief,
the joy of the godless
20:6 Even though his stature
and his head touches the clouds,
20:7 he will perish forever, like his own excrement;
those who used to see him will say, ‘Where is he?’
20:8 Like a dream he flies away, never again to be found,
and like a vision of the night he is put to flight.
20:9 People
and the place where he was
will recognize him no longer.
1:1 From James,
