but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

no - my stepmother is 79, and I have never known anyone as evil as she. OTOH, my maternal grandfather lived to well over 100, and he was one of them most saintly people I knew. Comparatively, she is still young...
In any case, the wicked will not have eternal life, so their years are shortened

It depends- if they are for example killing people and get caught and punished to death. But there are certainly many isntances of bad people just outliving the good. its part of the unique experience called life- religion doesnt always explain everything to the extent we wish. Life would be too easy if evil people died young- then there would be no evil people once we all figured out the trend and life would be boring- imagine it. God's keeping us on our toes if you think about it. Don't stop beliving or questioning though- thats how great ideas are concocted

Do evil people really die young? Why are you asking this question backwards, when you know the good die young and the bad live forever! It is too bad, but it is the way it is. Get your info correct friend. Or maybe you already knew this, but your question is really your secret desire! No? You want the bad too die young, but you can't always get want you want. Good day.

And santa comes at Easter. No they do not. When your time is up its up and thats all there is to it. If the Lord thinks your to good for this earth then maybe he may carry u off.
However what ever happens - happens hopefully when the time arises you have been able to enjoy and experience what this life has or had to offer. Peace Bro

Some teach that "death" in the Bible means separation from God, not necessarily the physical death we recognize as mortal humans. In that context, the wicked do "die" young even though their bodies may be very much alive.

No..good people die young but evil people live forever because God do not one the people to suffer in the world. He rather take them early and stay with him in heaven and GOd love them all.

No the good ones usually die first. Havent you been to a funeral lately? The pastor said "It is sad to see such a good person die so young"

Even a 100 years is a short period of time compared to eternity.

One man's evil is another man's good. Is it so hard to accept both good and evil men will have the same fate at death.
