An evil troublemaker goes around saying twisted things with his mouth.He winks with his eyes. He makes signals with his feet. He motions with his fingers.His plans are evil, and he has lies in his heart. He is always stirring up fights.Trouble will catch up with him in an instant. He will suddenly be destroyed, and nothing can save him.There are six things the Lord hates. In fact, he hates seven things.The Lord hates proud eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that kill those who aren’t guilty.He also hates hearts that make evil plans and feet that are quick to do evil.He hates any witness who pours out lies and anyone who stirs up conflict in the community.

Those who are worthless use sinful methods. They make evil plans against poor people. They destroy them with their lies. They do it even when those people are right.

Their hearts are as hot as an oven. They make evil plans to get rid of him. Their anger burns like a slow fire all night. In the morning it blazes out like a flaming fire.All of them are as hot as an oven. They destroy their rulers. All their kings fall from power. But none of them calls on the Lord for help.

I have the power to harm you. But last night the God of your father spoke to me. He said,‘ Be careful. Do not say anything to Jacob, whether it is good or bad.’

Your children will be given to another nation. Day after day you will watch for them to come back. But you will only wear out your eyes. You won’t be able to help your children.

Don’t hold back good from those who are worthy of it. Don’t hold it back when you can help.

Your hands and fingers are stained with blood. You are guilty of committing murder. Your mouth has told lies. Your tongue says evil things.

Whoever is full of evil plans trouble and ends up telling lies.Whoever digs a hole and shovels it out falls into the pit they have made.The trouble they cause comes back on them. The terrible things they do will happen to them.

They tell lies about them. They hate God. They are rude and proud. They brag. They think of new ways to do evil. They don’t obey their parents.

They said,“ Come on. Let’s make plans against Jeremiah. We’ll still have priests to teach us the law. We’ll always have wise people to give us advice. We’ll have prophets to bring us messages from the Lord. So come on. Let’s speak out against Jeremiah. We shouldn’t pay any attention to what he says.”

Jesus answered,“ You were given power from heaven. If you weren’t, you would have no power over me. So the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

Sinners can’t rest until they do what is evil. They can’t sleep until they make someone sin.

Now then, you and the Sanhedrin must make an appeal to the commanding officer. Ask him to bring Paul to you. Pretend you want more facts about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”

The chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus. They were afraid of the people.Then Satan entered Judas, who was called Iscariot. Judas was one of the 12 disciples.He went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard. He talked with them about how he could hand Jesus over to them.They were delighted and agreed to give him money.Judas accepted their offer. He watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them. He wanted to do it when no crowd was around.

The next morning some Jews gathered secretly to make plans against Paul. They made a promise to themselves. They promised that they would not eat or drink anything until they killed him.

Then Haman said to King Xerxes,“ Certain people are scattered among the nations. They live in all the territories in your kingdom. They keep themselves separate from everyone else. Their practices are different from the practices of all other people. They don’t obey your laws. It really isn’t good for you to put up with them.

Lord, save me from sinful people. Keep me safe from those who want to hurt me.They make evil plans in their hearts. They are always starting fights.Their tongues are as deadly as the tongue of a serpent. The words from their lips are like the poison of a snake.Lord, keep me safe from the hands of sinful people. Protect me from those who want to hurt me. They plan ways to trip me up and make me fall.Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.I say to the Lord,“ You are my God.” Lord, hear my cry for mercy.Lord and King, you save me because you are strong. You are like a shield that keeps me safe in the day of battle.Lord, don’t give sinners what they want. Don’t let their plans succeed.

It was very early in the morning. The chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law, and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. So they tied Jesus up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate.

The Lord said to me,“ Son of man, these men are making evil plans. They are giving bad advice to the city.

The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest Jesus at once. They knew he had told that story against them. But they were afraid of the people.

Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him,“ Get a pole. In the morning, ask the king to have Mordecai put to death. Have the pole stuck through his body. Set it up at a place where it will be 75 feet above the ground. Everyone will be able to see it there. Then go to the feast with the king. Have a good time.” Haman was delighted with that suggestion. So he got the pole ready.

It was early in the morning. All the chief priests and the elders of the people planned how to put Jesus to death.So they tied him up and led him away. Then they handed him over to Pilate, who was the governor.

But the king had found out about Haman’s evil plan. So the king had sent out written orders. He had ordered that Haman’s evil plan against the Jews should happen to him instead. The king also commanded that poles be stuck through the dead bodies of Haman and his sons. Then they should be set up where everyone could see them.
