Silent Ones

DO you indeed speak righteousness, you silent ones?
Do you judge uprightly, you sons of men?

No, in heart you work wickedness;
You weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

The wicked are estranged from the womb;
They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Their poison is like the poison of a serpent;
They are like the deaf cobra that stops its ear,

Which will not heed the voice of charmers,
Charming ever so skillfully.

Break their teeth in their mouth, O God!
Break out the fangs of the young lions, O LORD!

Let them flow away as waters which run continually;
When he bends his bow,
Let his arrows be as if cut in pieces.

Let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes,
Like a stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun.

Before your pots can feel the burning thorns,
He shall take them away as with a whirlwind,
As in His living and burning wrath.

The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance;
He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked,

So that men will say,
"Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God who judges in the earth."

Psalm 58

How is it in a day of such great evil that so many of God's people are silent and do
not sound the alarm and expose the unfruitful works of darkness ?
It is because their hearts are wicked.
