Proverbs 3:31 - 3:33
31
Do not envy a man of violence
And do not choose any of his ways.

But His secret council is with the upright.
33 The curse of Yahweh is on the house of the wicked one,
But He blesses the abode of the righteous.
Proverbs 4:14 - 4:19
14
Do not enter the path of wicked men
And do not step into the way of evil men.
15 Avoid it, do not pass by it;
Stray from it and pass on.
16 For they do not sleep unless they do evil;
And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
And drink the wine of violence.
18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,
That shines brighter and brighter until the fullness of day.
19 The way of the wicked is like thick darkness;
They do not know over what they stumble.
Proverbs 5:22 - 5:23

And with the cords of his sin he will be held fast.

And in the abundance of his folly he will stumble in intoxication.
Proverbs 6:12 - 6:15
12
A vile person, a wicked man,
Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,
13 Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who points with his fingers;
14 Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil,
Who spreads contentions.
15 Therefore his disaster will come suddenly;
Instantly he will be broken and there will be no healing.

24
What the wicked dreads will come upon him,
But the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more,
But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes,
So is the sluggard to those who send him.
27 The fear of Yahweh prolongs life,
But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The expectation of the righteous is gladness,
But the hope of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the one with integrity,
But ruin to the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous will never be shaken,
But the wicked will not dwell in the land.

And when the wicked perish, there is joyful shouting.

But by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.

Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross
Are fiery lips and an evil heart.

For there are seven abominations in his heart.

His evil will be revealed in the assembly.
