Letter "W" » wickedly
«What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.»

«Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: / Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them.»
«Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? / Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God? / Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him? / He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.»
