Psalms 37:35-36
I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.Yet he passed away, and, lo, he[ was] not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Esther 5:11-12
And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all[ the things] wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.Haman said moreover, Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and tomorrow am I invited unto her also with the king.

Job 27:13-23
This[ is] the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors,[ which] they shall receive of the Almighty.If his children be multiplied,[ it is] for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;He may prepare[ it], but the just shall put[ it] on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth[ that] the keeper maketh.The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he[ is] not.Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.For[ God] shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.[ Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

Job 27:8
For what[ is] the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Job 18:5-6
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

Judges 16:21-30
But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines[ were] there; and[ there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with[ all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that[ were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than[ they] which he slew in his life.

Psalms 73:18-20
Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.How are they[ brought] into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.As a dream when[ one] awaketh;[ so], O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

Job 8:12-13
Whilst it[ is] yet in his greenness,[ and] not cut down, it withereth before any[ other] herb.So[ are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
-
Job 15:29-34
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.For the congregation of hypocrites[ shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
-
