The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right—an observation that wickedness produces self-destruction through violence, that the wicked's own actions become their trap. The phrase 'drag them away' (yashlof) suggests being hauled into ruin; the violence the wicked perpetrate returns upon them. The second clause 'they refuse to do what is right' identifies the root cause: moral refusal, not circumstance, produces their destruction. The theological significance involves the principle that wickedness is inherently self-defeating.
