a mind devising wicked plans, feet that are quick to do wrong,
The Lord saw how evil humans had become on the earth. All day long their deepest thoughts were nothing but evil.
He invents trouble while lying on his bed and chooses to go the wrong direction. He does not reject evil.
because they rush to do evil and hurry to shed blood.
The thoughts of evil people are disgusting to the Lord, but pleasant words are pure to him.
because their minds plot violence, and their lips talk trouble.
Whoever plans to do evil will be known as a schemer.
Their feet run to do evil. They hurry to shed innocent blood. Their plans are evil. Ruin and destruction are on their highways.
Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart so that you may be rescued. Don’t continue making evil plans.
How horrible it will be for those who invent trouble and work out plans for disaster while in bed. When the morning dawns, they carry out their plans because they are able to.
Don’t even think of doing evil to each other. Don’t enjoy false testimony. I hate all these things, declares the Lord.
They run quickly to murder people.
