Joshua 8:20-22
8:20 When the men of Ai turned around, they saw
the smoke from the city ascending into the sky and were so shocked they were unable to flee in any direction.
In the meantime the men who were retreating to the desert turned against their pursuers.
8:21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the city was going up in smoke,
they turned around and struck down the men of Ai.
8:22 At the same time the men who had taken the city came out to fight, and the men of Ai were trapped in the middle.
The Israelites struck them down, leaving no survivors or refugees.

Jude 1:3-4
Condemnation of the False Teachers
1:3 Dear friends, although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
1:4 For certain men have secretly slipped in among you – men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe – ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
