"Evil wins when good men sit by and do nothing"

"Evil wins when good men sit by and do nothing"

Just when I didn't think I had any more I thought of the above. I don't think there is scripture to back that up but figured I should ask to make sure. Is there scripture that supports that line?

The actual quote is:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
-- Edmund Burke

Burke worked hard to reduce the penalties levied against Irish Catholics in Ireland in the 18th century. Irish Catholics were denied full citizenship by the British Empire. Sadly this erupted into revolution that we can still witness the scars in Northern Ireland today.

Thank You for the info.

Hi Greeter, this verse doesn't quite hold the exact idea, but it is close.

"The wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men" Ps 12:8 NASB

Yours and His,
David
