What the Bible says about Overthrowing the Wicked
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Proverbs 21:12

We not only need to consider the poor and to consider what God is doing, but we need to consider those who are doing evil in society. The context here is during a time when the righteous have power to overthrow the wicked. A person is to use this process of sakal (considering) to come to a righteous judgment about evil doers.

The New King James Version could be right in translating, "The righteous God wisely considers the house of the wicked, overthrowing the wicked for their wickedness." However, most scholars think that it is not speaking about God here but righteous people.
