22 But the wicked H7563 shall be cut off H3772 from the earth, H776 and the transgressors H898 shall be rooted out H5255 of it.
God H410 shall likewise destroy H5422 thee for ever, H5331 he shall take thee away, H2846 and pluck thee out H5255 of thy dwelling place, H168 and root thee out H8327 of the land H776 of the living. H2416 Selah. H5542
And the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will put out H5394 those H411 nations H1471 before H6440 thee by little H4592 and little: H4592 thou mayest H3201 not consume H3615 them at once, H4118 lest the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 increase H7235 upon thee.
And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD H3068 rejoiced H7797 over you to do you good, H3190 and to multiply H7235 you; so the LORD H3068 will rejoice H7797 over you to destroy H6 you, and to bring you to nought; H8045 and ye shall be plucked H5255 from off the land H127 whither thou goest H935 to possess H3423 it. And the LORD H3068 shall scatter H6327 thee among all people, H5971 from the one end H7097 of the earth H776 even unto the other; H7097 and there thou shalt serve H5647 other H312 gods, H430 which neither thou nor thy fathers H1 have known, H3045 even wood H6086 and stone. H68
His roots H8328 shall be dried up H3001 beneath, and above H4605 shall his branch H7105 be cut off. H5243 His remembrance H2143 shall perish H6 from the earth, H776 and he shall have no name H8034 in the street. H6440 H2351 He shall be driven H1920 from light H216 into darkness, H2822 and chased H5074 out of the world. H8398
For such as be blessed H1288 of him shall inherit H3423 the earth; H776 and they that be cursed H7043 of him shall be cut off. H3772
Let the sinners H2400 be consumed H8552 out of the earth, H776 and let the wicked H7563 be no more. Bless H1288 thou the LORD, H3068 O my soul. H5315 Praise H1984 ye the LORD. H3050
The LORD H3068 preserveth H8104 all them that love H157 him: but all the wicked H7563 will he destroy. H8045
The righteous H6662 shall never H5769 be removed: H4131 but the wicked H7563 shall not inhabit H7931 the earth. H776

Pro 2:1-9
Job had asked, long before this, Where shall wisdom be found? Whence cometh wisdom? (Job 28:12, 20) and he had given this general answer (v. 23), God knoweth the place of it; but Solomon here goes further, and tells us both where we may find it and how we may get it. We are here told,
