John 11:47-53
Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.If we let him thus alone, all[ men] will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.And one of them,[ named] Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not.And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad.Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.

Psalms 10:8-10
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.He croucheth,[ and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Acts 23:12-27
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him.And when Paul’s sister’s son heard of their lying in wait, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul.Then Paul called one of the centurions unto[ him], and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.So he took him, and brought[ him] to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto[ him], and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went[ with him] aside privately, and asked[ him], What is that thou hast to tell me?And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly.But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in wait for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves with an oath, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready, looking for a promise from thee.So the chief captain[ then] let the young man depart, and charged[ him, See thou] tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.And he called unto[ him] two centurions, saying, Make ready two hundred soldiers to go to Caesarea, and horsemen threescore and ten, and spearmen two hundred, at the third hour of the night;And provide[ them] beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring[ him] safe unto Felix the governor.And he wrote a letter after this manner:Claudius Lysias unto the most excellent governor Felix[ sendeth] greeting.This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came I with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.

Matthew 2:4-8
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,And thou Bethlehem,[ in] the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found[ him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Psalms 37:12-14
The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy,[ and] to slay such as be of upright conversation.

1 Samuel 23 22-1 Samuel 23 23
Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is,[ and] who hath seen him there: for it is told me[ that] he dealeth very subtilly.See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
