green
Job 21:7-15
7
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
8
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12
They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
13
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
14
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
Psalm 37:35
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.
Psalm 37:36
Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.
Psalm 73:3-12
3
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4
For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
5
They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6
Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
7
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8
They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
9
They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
10
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12
Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Job 5:3
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
