Wicked (Noun)
The wicked, even whilst receiving favors, incline to their natural dispositions, as a dog’s tail, after every part of anointing and chafing, to its natural bend.
—Hitopadesa
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
—Old Testament
