Psalms 58:3 (KJV) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
Psalms 58:10 (KJV) The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
I find myself troubled by verse three. It almost seems like some people are per-destined to live in wickedness. In fact, that’s what it says. Now the commentators use this to say that we are all born in sin and we are all wicked which I agree with, but that’s not what’s being said there. This is a certain group. When you go down further to verse 10 you find that there are those who are righteous.
Are we locked in from birth, or is it just an indication that it is more difficult for some to come to the Lord than others?
So? I choose to believe that even those who start out evil can be redeemed. They may not want it and that would settle it but they have a chance.
