Psalms 92:7

7: Although the wicked flourish like weeds, and evildoers blossom with success, there is only eternal destruction ahead of them.

Truly, you put them on a slippery path and send them sliding over the cliff to destruction.
In an instant they are destroyed, swept away by terrors.
Their present life is only a dream that is gone when they awake. When you arise, O Lord, you will make them vanish from this life.

As the prophet says, "People are like grass that dies away; their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of wildflowers. The grass withers, and the flowers fall away.

But even robbers are left in peace, and those who provoke God--and God has them in his power--live in safety!

The LORD Almighty says, "The day of judgment is coming, burning like a furnace. The arrogant and the wicked will be burned up like straw on that day. They will be consumed like a tree--roots and all.

Jesus said, "There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury.
At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus.
As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man's table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.

LORD, you always give me justice when I bring a case before you. Now let me bring you this complaint: Why are the wicked so prosperous? Why are evil people so happy?
You have planted them, and they have taken root and prospered. Your name is on their lips, but in their hearts they give you no credit at all.

From now on we will say, "Blessed are the arrogant." For those who do evil get rich, and those who dare God to punish them go free of harm.'"

I myself have seen it happen--proud and evil people thriving like mighty trees.
But when I looked again, they were gone! Though I searched for them, I could not find them!

"The truth is that the wicked live to a good old age. They grow old and wealthy.
They live to see their children grow to maturity, and they enjoy their grandchildren.
Their homes are safe from every fear, and God does not punish them.
Their bulls never fail to breed. Their cows bear calves without miscarriage.
Their children skip about like lambs in a flock of sheep.

Look at these arrogant people--enjoying a life of ease while their riches multiply.

And those who are rich should be glad, for God has humbled them. They will fade away like a flower in the field.
The hot sun rises and dries up the grass; the flower withers, and its beauty fades away. So also, wealthy people will fade away with all of their achievements.

That is why their people have so little power and are such easy prey for you. They are as helpless as the grass, as easily trampled as tender green shoots. They are like grass sprouting on a housetop, easily scorched by the sun.

A voice said, "Shout!" I asked, "What should I shout?Shout that people are like the grass that dies away. Their beauty fades as quickly as the beauty of flowers in a field.
The grass withers, and the flowers fade beneath the breath of the LORD. And so it is with people.

For they are simpletons who turn away from me--to death. They are fools, and their own complacency will destroy them.

When Abigail arrived home, she found that Nabal had thrown a big party and was celebrating like a king. He was very drunk, so she didn't tell him anything about her meeting with David until the next morning.
The next morning when he was sober, she told him what had happened. As a result he had a stroke, and he lay on his bed paralyzed.
About ten days later, the LORD struck him and he died.

You sweep people away like dreams that disappear or like grass that springs up in the morning.
In the morning it blooms and flourishes, but by evening it is dry and withered.
