2 Peter 2 4-2 Peter 2 9
For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell and locked them up in chains in utter darkness, to be kept until the judgment,and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,and if he turned to ashes the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah when he condemned them to destruction, having appointed them to serve as an example to future generations of the ungodly,and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish over the debauched lifestyle of lawless men,( for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)– if so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from their trials, and to reserve the unrighteous for punishment at the day of judgment,

For you say,‘ Where now is the nobleman’s house, and where are the tents in which the wicked lived?’Have you never questioned those who travel the roads? Do you not recognize their accounts–that the evil man is spared from the day of his misfortune, that he is delivered from the day of God’s wrath?

Habakkuk 2:9-12
The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. He does this so he can build his nest way up high and escape the clutches of disaster.Your schemes will bring shame to your house. Because you destroyed many nations, you will self-destruct.For the stones in the walls will cry out, and the wooden rafters will answer back.The one who builds a city by bloodshed is as good as dead– he who starts a town by unjust deeds.
-
Job 18:14-21
He is dragged from the security of his tent, and marched off to the king of terrors.Fire resides in his tent; over his residence burning sulfur is scattered.Below his roots dry up, and his branches wither above.His memory perishes from the earth, he has no name in the land.He is driven from light into darkness and is banished from the world.He has neither children nor descendants among his people, no survivor in those places he once stayed.People of the west are appalled at his fate; people of the east are seized with horror, saying,‘ Surely such is the residence of an evil man; and this is the place of one who has not known God.’”

Job 27:13-23
This is the portion of the wicked man allotted by God, the inheritance that evildoers receive from the Almighty.If his children increase– it is for the sword! His offspring never have enough to eat.Those who survive him are buried by the plague, and their widows do not mourn for them.If he piles up silver like dust and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,what he stores up a righteous man will wear, and an innocent man will inherit his silver.The house he builds is as fragile as a moth’s cocoon, like a hut that a watchman has made.He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more. When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.Terrors overwhelm him like a flood; at night a whirlwind carries him off.The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.It hurls itself against him without pity as he flees headlong from its power.It claps its hands at him in derision and hisses him away from his place.
