The wicked, haters, insecure, jealous, vengeful, envious, violent, and evildoers are blinded by their thoughts that err!
The wicked said among themselves,
thinking not aright:
"Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us;
he sets himself against our doings,
Reproaches us for transgressions of the law
and charges us with violations of our training.
He professes to have knowledge of God
and styles himself a child of the LORD.
To us he is the censure of our thoughts;
merely to see him is a hardship for us,
Because his life is not like that of others,
and different are his ways.
He judges us debased;
he holds aloof from our paths as from things impure.
He calls blest the destiny of the just
and boasts that God is his Father.
Let us see whether his words be true;
let us find out what will happen to him.
For if the just one be the son of God, he will defend him
and deliver him from the hand of his foes.
With revilement and torture let us put him to the test
that we may have proof of his gentleness
and try his patience.
Let us condemn him to a shameful death;
for according to his own words, God will take care of him."
These were their thoughts, but they erred;
for their wickedness blinded them,
and they knew not the hidden counsels of God;
neither did they count on a recompense of holiness
nor discern the innocent souls' reward.
~Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22
The wicked, haters, insecure, jealous, vengeful, envious, violent, and evildoers are blinded by their thoughts that err! Today we see the same things today as in the past and times of Jesus. The Book of Wisdom was likely written in the first century BC, about 50 years before the birth of Jesus, around the turn of the era, it was written by a Jewish author in Alexandria, Egypt. It is part of the deuterocanonical books in some Christian traditions but is not included in the Jewish canon. It knew of wickedness. The same that we see today. So many have fallen away from God, back then and now. God sent Jesus to them, and we still have His message today, we are called to follow Him, to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! We are called to love, not hate! Not to be wicked or evil. Today we see so many who are so insecure, always living in fear, filled with so much hate, and with so many hypotheticals, they love to always think the worst, just let the devil take over their thoughts, then become so filled with so much hate and sin. All their hate and sin, as if Jesus and goodness is just so inconvenient. It is so sad to see. They all need our prayers who make so many excuses for sin and hate. Who allow the devil to work in them, to blind them with hate, to err in their thought, to let themselves be consumed by evil and hate! This Book of Wisdom shares real insight into the wicked! They need our prayers! We all need Jesus! Love always wins over hate! Don't let Jesus and His teachings to be inconvenient to you!
