The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

Sinners pull out their swords. They bend their bows. They want to kill poor and needy people. They plan to murder those who lead honest lives.

The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright;

The wicked draw their swords and string their bows to kill the poor and the oppressed, to slaughter those who do right.

The wicked have drawn the sword and strung the bow to bring down the poor and needy and to slaughter those whose way is upright.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to kill those who are upright on the path.

For look, the wicked prepare their bows, they put their arrows on the strings, to shoot in the darkness at the morally upright.

An unjust person is an abomination to the righteous, and the one who lives an upright life is an abomination to the wicked.

And you say,‘ If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have participated with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’By saying this you testify against yourselves that you are descendants of those who murdered the prophets.Fill up then the measure of your ancestors!You snakes, you offspring of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?“ For this reason I am sending you prophets and wise men and experts in the law, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town,

Hide me from the plots of evil men, from the crowd of evildoers.They sharpen their tongues like a sword; they aim their arrow, a slanderous charge,in order to shoot down the innocent in secluded places. They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation.They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. They plan how to hide snares, and boast,“ Who will see them?”They devise unjust schemes; they disguise a well-conceived plot. Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.

With all my strength I will say,“ O LORD, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

When Peter came to himself, he said,“ Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen.”

He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword.When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too.( This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.)

He said to David,“ You are more innocent than I, for you have treated me well, even though I have tried to harm you!

Which of the prophets did your ancestors not persecute? They killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become!

Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn’t kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.

not like Cain who was of the evil one and brutally murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, but his brother’s were righteous.

Bloodthirsty people hate someone with integrity; as for the upright, they seek his life.

Immediately an angel of the Lord struck Herod down because he did not give the glory to God, and he was eaten by worms and died.

You are too just to tolerate evil; you are unable to condone wrongdoing. So why do you put up with such treacherous people? Why do you say nothing when the wicked devour those more righteous than they are?
