General wickedness
Genesis 6:5
The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth
had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only
evil all the time.
Psalms 64:5
5 They encourage each other in evil plans, they talk
about hiding their snares; they say, and “Who will see them?”
6 They plot injustice and say, “We have devised a
perfect plan!” Surely the mind and heart of man are cunning.
Isaiah 59:7
Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed
innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark
their ways.
Isaiah 65:2
All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate
people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations—
Jealousy – hatred
Genesis 50:20
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good
to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
Evading responsibility
Deuteronomy 15:9
Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The
seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near,” so that you do not show
ill will toward your needy brother and give him nothing. He may then appeal to
the LORD against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
False witnessing
Deuteronomy 19:15
15 One witness is not enough to convict a man accused
of any crime or offense he may have committed. A matter must be established by
the testimony of two or three witnesses.
16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a
man of a crime,
17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in
the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at
the time.
18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and
if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother,
19 then do to him as he intended to do to his brother.
You must purge the evil from among you.
20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be
afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.
21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for
tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Fact less decisions
Judges 15:2
“I was so sure you thoroughly hated her,” he said,
“that I gave her to your friend. Isn't her younger sister more attractive? Take
her instead.”
