The Bible clearly teaches that the wicked will not go unpunished. God's justice is not slack; He is patient, giving all a chance to repent, but ultimately, there is a time when the wicked will face destruction. Both the Old and New Testaments affirm this truth repeatedly.
1. Psalm 37:9-10 (KJV)
“For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.”
God promises that the wicked will be removed, but the righteous will remain and be established.
2. Proverbs 11:21 (KJV)
“Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.”
No alliance or unity among the wicked can shield them from God’s judgment.
3. Psalm 1:6 (KJV)
“For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.”
The wicked are on a path that leads to ultimate destruction, unlike the righteous who walk under God’s guidance.
4. Malachi 4:1 (KJV)
“For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble... it shall leave them neither root nor branch.”
The coming day of judgment will completely consume the wicked.
5. Psalm 145:20 (KJV)
“The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy.”
God protects those who love Him but promises destruction to the wicked.
6. Isaiah 13:11 (KJV)
“And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity...”
God will judge the earth and bring justice upon the wicked for their sins.
7. Job 21:30 (KJV)
“That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.”
Though they may prosper temporarily, the wicked are destined for a day of divine wrath.
8. Psalm 73:18-19 (KJV)
“Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment!”
The wicked may seem secure, but their fall can be sudden and total.
9. Proverbs 24:20 (KJV)
“For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.”
The influence and success of the wicked are temporary and destined to be extinguished.
10. 2 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”
God makes a clear distinction—He rescues the righteous but reserves the wicked for judgment.
11. Revelation 21:8 (KJV)
“But the fearful, and unbelieving... and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
The final destination of the wicked is the lake of fire—a permanent separation from God.
12. Psalm 9:17 (KJV)
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”
Hell is the judgment of those who reject God.
13. Nahum 1:8 (KJV)
“But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.”
The wrath of God will completely overwhelm the wicked.
14. Romans 2:8-9 (KJV)
“But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth... Indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish...”
Paul reminds us of God’s righteous judgment against those who rebel against the truth.
15. Matthew 13:40-42 (KJV)
“As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world... shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.”
Jesus spoke of a final separation and judgment where the wicked are destroyed like weeds.
Though the wicked may flourish for a season, Scripture is clear: their destruction is sure. God, in His righteousness, will not allow wickedness to continue unpunished forever. The righteous are called to trust in the Lord, knowing He will uphold justice and repay evil in due time.
