The Hebrew word "resha" primarily denotes wickedness or moral wrongness. It is often used in the context of describing actions, thoughts, or behaviors that are contrary to God's laws and righteousness.

In the Old Testament, "resha" is frequently contrasted with righteousness (צֶדֶק, tzedek) and justice (מִשְׁפָּט, mishpat).
