The Life of the Wicked
"The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing."
Psalm 112:10

Verse 10: "The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing."

Whereas the psalmist begins with the life of the worshiper in Psalm 112:1, he concludes with the life of the wicked in verse 10.

Here boldly displayed is the alternative to the life of the true worshiper. Verse 10 describes a person who is unhappy, unsatisfied, and unsettled.

Frustrated, annoyed, filled with anxiety, "The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth." He is angry because everything he has lived for is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Besides that, he's getting old. He will waste way, melting away through jealousy and annoyance.

The concluding words from the preacher in Ecclesiastes 12:14 are: "For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil" (NIV).

Luke 12:19, 20: "And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.' But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?"" (NASB)

In the words of A. W. Tozer: "God and man exist for each other and neither is satisfied without the other."
