- Ps 64:2-8 : 2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity. 3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow -- a bitter word. 4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not. 5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, `Who doth look at it?' 6 They search out perverse things, `We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart `are' deep. 7 And God doth shoot them `with' an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds, 8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them `is' their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.
- Isa 59:4-7 : 4 There is none calling in righteousness, And there is none pleading in faithfulness, Trusting on emptiness, and speaking falsehood, Conceiving perverseness, and bearing iniquity. 5 Eggs of a viper they have hatched, And webs of a spider they weave, Whoso is eating their eggs doth die, And the crushed hatcheth a viper. 6 Their webs become not a garment, Nor do they cover themselves with their works, Their works `are' works of iniquity, And a deed of violence `is' in their hands. 7 Their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed innocent blood, Their thoughts `are' thoughts of iniquity, Spoiling and destruction `are' in their highways.

- Mic 6:12-13 : 12 Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue `is' deceitful in their mouth. 13 And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.
