The reason why the wicked despised God was the fact that they did not believe in the deity and holiness of our Lord God Almighty. They were not afraid to do evil because they were not convinced that God is an all-seeing, all-knowing and all-present God thus they were proud of their evil thoughts and evil works and were confident that they will not be caught and punished, they were not accountable to no one. they were blinded by their misconception about the power of God.Nothing is hidden before an all-knowing God,
