  • Ps 64:2-8 : 2 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; protect my life from the fear of the enemy. 3 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, from the tumult of those who practice wickedness. 4 They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their words like bitter arrows. 5 They shoot from hiding places at the innocent; they shoot suddenly, without fear. 6 They encourage each other in evil plans; they talk about hiding snares and say, 'Who will see them?' 7 They devise unjust schemes, saying, 'We have perfected a cunning plan!'; truly the inward mind and heart of man are deep. 8 But God will shoot them with an arrow; suddenly, they will be struck down.
  • Isa 59:4-7 : 4 No one calls for justice, and no one pleads with integrity. They rely on empty words and speak lies; they conceive trouble and give birth to iniquity. 5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin spider webs. Whoever eats their eggs dies, and when one is crushed, a viper hatches. 6 Their webs will not become clothing, and they cannot cover themselves with their works. Their deeds are works of iniquity, and acts of violence are in their hands. 7 Their feet run to do evil, and they are quick to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful; ruin and destruction are in their paths.
