The whole world lies in wickedness. The wicked freely move around on every side and everywhere. They roam about or they seem to be completely unrestrained and uncontrolled in their activities.
“The wicked prowl on every side, When vileness (evil) is exalted among the sons of men." Psalm 12:8
- “When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice;when the wicked rule, the people groan". Proverbs 29:2
This verse shows the pathetic state of the senseless people:
“Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:
Should you not fear me?” declares the LORD."
who have eyes but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:
Should you not fear me?” declares the LORD."
Wicked people are left loose on their own not having the fear of God; their heart are hardened and not realizing the mighty power of God.
“Should you not tremble in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar, but they cannot cross it. Jeramiah5:
The whole world lies in wickedness ( like their father the devil) they go about to do mischief. They harm the poor and needy, attack the innocent people, lay traps for them; hurt them and kill them
“Among my people are the wicked
who lie in wait like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps to catch people.
Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
they have become rich and powerful
and have grown fat and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.
Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the LORD.Jeramiah5:21-19

Therefore we are in need of persistent divine protection.
“He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”

Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways; Psalm 91:2-3; 10-11

This is an assurance Lord gives you:
“Because he(you) loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
Praise the Lord
