It encompasses actions, thoughts, and intentions that are contrary to the nature and will of God. The Bible frequently contrasts wickedness with righteousness, highlighting the moral and spiritual divide between those who follow God's commandments and those who do not.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>The concept of wickedness is pervasive throughout the Scriptures, illustrating the fallen nature of humanity and the need for divine redemption. In <a href="/genesis/6-5.htm">Genesis 6:5</a>, the extent of human wickedness is described before the flood: "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time." This passage underscores the pervasive and intrinsic nature of wickedness in the human heart.<br><br>The Psalms often reflect on the nature and consequences of wickedness. <a href="/psalms/1-4.htm">Psalm 1:4-6</a> contrasts the fate of the wicked with that of the righteous: "Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish."<br><br>Proverbs provides practical wisdom regarding wickedness, warning against its allure and consequences. <a href="/proverbs/4-14.htm">Proverbs 4:14-15</a> advises, "Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it; do not travel on it. Turn from it and pass on by."<br><br><b>Consequences of Wickedness:</b> <br>The Bible is clear about the consequences of wickedness, both temporal and eternal. In <a href="/romans/6-23.htm">Romans 6:23</a>, the Apostle Paul writes, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." This verse highlights the ultimate consequence of wickedness—spiritual death and separation from God.<br><br>The prophetic books often speak of the judgment that befalls the wicked. In <a href="/isaiah/3-11.htm">Isaiah 3:11</a>, it is written, "Woe to the wicked; disaster is upon them! For they will be repaid with what their hands have done." This reflects the principle of divine justice, where wickedness leads to inevitable judgment.<br><br><b>Redemption from Wickedness:</b> <br>Despite the grim portrayal of wickedness, the Bible offers hope for redemption and transformation. Through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, individuals can be delivered from the power of wickedness. In 1 <a href="/john/1-9.htm">John 1:9</a>, the promise of forgiveness is given: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."<br><br>The transformative power of the Gospel is further emphasized in <a href="/2_corinthians/5-17.htm">2 Corinthians 5:17</a>: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!" This new creation signifies a life turned away from wickedness and aligned with the righteousness of God.<br><br><b>The Role of the Believer:</b> <br>Believers are called to reject wickedness and pursue holiness. <a href="/ephesians/5-11.htm">Ephesians 5:11</a> instructs, "Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." This call to action involves both personal sanctification and a commitment to uphold truth and righteousness in the world.<br><br>In summary, wickedness is a fundamental aspect of the human condition that the Bible addresses with both stern warnings and the promise of redemption through Jesus Christ. The Scriptures call believers to live in contrast to wickedness, embodying the righteousness that comes from a relationship with God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (<I>n.</I>) The quality or state of being wicked; departure from the rules of the divine or the moral law; evil disposition or practices; immorality; depravity; sinfulness.<p>2. (<I>n.</I>) A wicked thing or act; crime; sin; iniquity.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">WICKEDNESS</span><p>wik'-ed-nes:<br><br>1. In the Old Testament:<br><br>The state of being wicked; a mental disregard for justice, righteousness, truth, honor, virtue; evil in thought and life; depravity; sinfulness; criminality. See <a href="../s/sin.htm">SIN</a>. Many words are rendered "wickedness." There are many synonyms for wickedness in English and also in the Hebrew. Pride and vanity lead to it: "All the proud, and all that work wickedness (rish`ah) shall be stubble" (<a href="/malachi/4-1.htm">Malachi 4:1</a>). Akin to this is the word `awen, "iniquity," "vanity": "She eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness" (<a href="/proverbs/30-20.htm">Proverbs 30:20</a>). Then we have the word hawwah, meaning "mischief," "calamity," coming from inward intent upon evil: "Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness" (<a href="/psalms/52-7.htm">Psalm 52:7</a>); zimmah, "wickedness" in thought, carnality or lust harbored: "And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness" (<a href="/leviticus/20-14.htm">Leviticus 20:14</a>); `awlah, "perverseness," "Neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first" (<a href="/2_samuel/7-10.htm">2 Samuel 7:10</a>). The word for evil ra`) is many times employed to represent wickedness: "Remember all their wickedness" (<a href="/hosea/7-2.htm">Hosea 7:2</a>). Wickedness like all forms and thoughts of wrong, kept warm in mind, seems to be a thing of growth; it begins with a thought, then a deed, then a character, and finally a destiny. Even in this life men increase in wickedness till they have lost all desire for that which is good in the sight of God and good men; the men in the vision of Isaiah seem to be in a condition beyond which the human heart cannot go: "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness" (<a href="/isaiah/5-20.htm">Isaiah 5:20</a>). Shades of thought are added by such words as roa`, "evil," "badness": "Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings" (<a href="/psalms/28-4.htm">Psalm 28:4</a>). And resha` or rish`ah, also gives the common thought of wrong, wickedness. The prophets were strong in denunciations of all iniquity, perverseness, and in announcing the curse of God which would certainly follow.<br><br>2. In the New Testament:<br><br>Wickedness, malignity, evil in thought and purpose is presented by the word poneria: "But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why make ye trial of me, ye hypocrites?" (<a href="/matthew/22-18.htm">Matthew 22:18</a>). Jesus points out the origin of all wrong: "For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed.... wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness.... all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man" (<a href="/mark/7-21.htm">Mark 7:21-23</a>).
