Wicked and transgression
When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall (Proverbs 29:16).When the wicked increase, transgression increases; But the righteous will see their fall. When the wicked people increase in number in a nation, sin increases. But when the righteous people pray and lead righteous lives, the downfall of the wicked and their ruler will be certain.
Cross reference in Proverbs 21:12
The Righteous One considers the house of the wicked; He brings the wicked to ruin.
