Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,

All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness:

And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange cities.

And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad.

But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.

Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death.

And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.
