Prosperity and Longevity Denied to the Wicked
The light of the wicked shall be put out.... Terrors shall make him afraid on every side.... He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. (Job. 18: 5, 12, 18, 19.)
But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days. (Eccl. 8: 23.)
Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. (Ps. 55: 23.)
The years of the wicked shall be shortened. (Prov. 10: 27.)
They [the hypocrites] die in youth. (Job. 36: 14.)
Be not over much wicked, neither be foolish; why shouldst thou die before your time? (Eccl. 7: 17.)
