Isaiah 48:22 " 'There is no peace,' says the Lord, 'for the wicked.' "

Isaiah 57:20 "But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt."

Isaiah 57:21 "There is no peace," says my God, "to the wicked."
The evil spirited man/woman could not rest for his/her mind cannot be settled down into a calm state. Thus is an example of the life of a liar, a thief, a murderer, offender, a squandered, etc. Once judged, that person who holds a heart of guilt fails the test of the heart and is sent back into a life-form more miserable than the one prior.

Get the No Rest For The Wicked mug.
Originally a song by “Cage the Elephant”, the phrase is used to describe the lives of people in severe poverty either engaging in illicit activity like prostitution, robbery, or theft out of necessity to survive. Reasons include bills to pay, mouths to feed, and the fact that nothing in this world is for free. They’re not generally heartless bastards, but money makes you do things you shouldn’t be doing.
Person 1: I heard that a bunch of guys robbed an ACE Hardware store the other day

Person 2 : times must’ve been tough. Ain’t no rest for the wicked.
