11:53 When he went out from there, the experts in the law 7 and the Pharisees began to oppose him bitterly, 8 and to ask him hostile questions 9 about many things, 11:54 plotting against 10 him, to catch 11 him in something he might say.
20:20 Then 12 they watched him carefully and sent spies who pretended to be sincere. 13 They wanted to take advantage of what he might say 14 so that they could deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction 15 of the governor.
37:32 Evil men set an ambush for the godly
and try to kill them. 16
41:6 When someone comes to visit, 17 he pretends to be friendly; 18
he thinks of ways to defame me, 19
and when he leaves he slanders me. 20
62:4 They 21 spend all their time planning how to bring him 22 down. 23
They love to use deceit; 24
they pronounce blessings with their mouths,
but inwardly they utter curses. 25 (Selah)
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. 26
They plan how to hide 27 snares,
and boast, 28 “Who will see them?” 29
64:6 They devise 30 unjust schemes;
they disguise 31 a well-conceived plot. 32
Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered. 33
23:7 for he is 34 like someone calculating the cost 35 in his mind. 36
“Eat and drink,” he says to you,
but his heart is not with you;
29:20 For tyrants will disappear,
those who taunt will vanish,
and all those who love to do wrong will be eliminated 37 –
29:21 those who bear false testimony against a person, 38
who entrap the one who arbitrates at the city gate 39
and deprive the innocent of justice by making false charges. 40
20:10 I 41 hear many whispering words of intrigue against me.
Those who would cause me terror are everywhere! 42
They are saying, “Come on, let’s publicly denounce him!” 43
All my so-called friends 44 are just watching for
something that would lead to my downfall. 45
They say, “Perhaps he can be enticed into slipping up,
so we can prevail over 46 him and get our revenge on him.
20:11 But the Lord is with me to help me like an awe-inspiring warrior. 47
Therefore those who persecute me will fail and will not prevail over me.
They will be thoroughly disgraced because they did not succeed.
Their disgrace will never be forgotten.
