How can the wickedness of the wicked cease ?

  • A.When the wicked are completely destroyed
  • B.When the good outnumber the wicked
  • C.When the Lord drinks the poison spread by the wicked
  • D.When the wicked themselves develop the desire to do good

Answer: D

The wickedness of the wicked can cease when the wicked themselves develop the desire to do good.

The poem's second and third lines read: Let wickedness of the wicked cease. Let the desire to do good in them increase. The cure it prays for is an inner change in the wicked, a growing desire to do good.

Destroying the wicked, outnumbering them by the good and the Lord drinking their poison are never suggested in the poem; the first would also contradict its prayer that all beings become friends and all be contented.
