    Unfortunately it is very hard to choose! In truth, I am not sure that it is possible to “measure” wickedness, but if I had to choose I think that I would choose a person in the Bible who is not so well known. There is a person called Geichazi, who was the prophet Elisha’s right-hand man. He was so wicked that the Talmud teaches that he has no place in the World to Come.
