There are Folks Who Love Evil

For their feet run to evil, they hasten to shed blood.

men of perverted speech, 13 who forsake the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness, 14 who rejoice in doing evil and delight in the perverseness of evil; 15 men whose paths are crooked, and who are devious in their ways.

they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong; they are robbed of sleep unless they have made some one stumble. 17 For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.

And lo, a woman meets him, dressed as a harlot, wily of heart. 11 
She is loud and wayward, her feet do not stay at home; 12  now in the street, now in the market, and at every corner she lies in wait. 13 She seizes him and kisses him, and with impudent face she says to him: 14 “I had to offer sacrifices, and today I have paid my vows; 15 so now I have come out to meet you, to seek you eagerly, and I have found you.16 I have decked my couch with coverings, colored spreads of Egyptian linen;17 I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon.18 Come, let us take our fill of love till morning; let us delight ourselves with love. 19 For my husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey;20 he took a bag of money with him; at full moon he will come home.”21 With much seductive speech she persuades him; with her smooth talk she compels him.

“Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who is without sense she says, 17 “Stolen water is sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”

It is like sport to a fool to do wrong

Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds of violence are in their hands.Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity, desolation and destruction are in their highways.The way of peace they know not, and there is no justice in their paths; they have made their roads crooked, no one who goes in them knows peace.


They are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know the just decree of God that all who practice such things deserve death, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
