Psalms 10:8-18
He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.He says in his heart,“ God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted.Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart,“ You will not call to account”?But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless.Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land.O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your earto do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.

Luke 20:19-26
The scribes and the chief priests sought to lay hands on him at that very hour, for they perceived that he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.So they watched him and sent spies, who pretended to be sincere, that they might catch him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the authority and jurisdiction of the governor.So they asked him,“ Teacher, we know that you speak and teach rightly, and show no partiality, but truly teach the way of God.Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?”But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them,“ Show me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?” They said,“ Caesar’s.”He said to them,“ Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”And they were not able in the presence of the people to catch him in what he said, but marveling at his answer they became silent.
