As I'm sure I've mentioned, one of my research/teaching interests is biblical literature.  These items come to mind, all from the King James version:

Psalm 12:8  "The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted."

Proverbs 29:1:  "He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy."

Psalm 37:10-11:  "For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.  But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."

Let us do all we can to stand, and then stand, having done all.
