wicked men

Rootרשע (r-š-ʿ)
Core Meaningswrongness, guilt, moral crookedness, criminality, active wickedness
Semantic Rangewicked men, guilty persons, criminals, morally corrupt individuals, those opposed to righteousness
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical theology, רְשָׁעִים stands in moral contrast to the righteous (צַדִּיקִים). It denotes not merely those who err, but those characterized by active rebellion against divine order, often serving as the archetypal opponents of covenant faithfulness and justice.
Morphological NotesMasculine plural absolute noun (from רָשָׁע). No article or pronominal suffix. Functions substantivally to denote a class of morally guilty persons.
Rendering RationaleThe noun רְשָׁעִים is masculine plural absolute from רָשָׁע, derived from the root רשע meaning to be morally wrong or guilty. "Wicked men" preserves the masculine plural form and reflects the active, culpable sense of moral wrongdoing inherent in the root.
