Jeremiah 5:26-28
For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are become great, and waxed rich.They are waxed fat, they shine: yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked?[ SelahJudge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

Psalms 10:7-10
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression: Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.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 helpless.He lurketh in secret as a lion in his covert; He lieth in wait to catch the poor: He doth catch the poor, when he draweth him in his net.He croucheth, he boweth down, And the helpless fall by his strong ones.

Psalms 64:4-6
That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

1 Kings 21 10-1 Kings 21 14
and set two men, base fellows, before him, and let them bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst curse God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him to death.And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who dwelt in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, according as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.And the two men, the base fellows, came in and sat before him: and the base fellows bare witness against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did curse God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him to death with stones.Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
