Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

Why Do the Wicked Prosper? You are always righteous, O LORD, when I bring a case before you. Yet I would speak with you about your justice: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? Jeremiah 12:1 NIV Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

Why Do the Wicked Prosper? The fear of the LORD adds length to life, but the years of the wicked are cut short. Proverbs 10:27 The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing. Proverbs 10:28 Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

Why Do the Wicked Prosper? The way of the LORD is a refuge for the righteous, but it is the ruin of those who do evil. Proverbs 10:29 The righteous will never be uprooted, but the wicked will not remain in the land. Proverbs 10:30 Why Do the Wicked Prosper?

The Righteous Will Prosper! For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD , "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11,12 NIV The Righteous Will Prosper!

But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to his own inheritance and his own country… Jeremiah 12:15 NIV Enemies Into Friends
