2:1 Why
Why
2:2 The kings of the earth
the rulers collaborate
against the Lord and his anointed king.
21:11 Yes,
they dream up a scheme,
36:4 He plans ways to sin while he lies in bed;
he is committed to a sinful lifestyle;
he does not reject what is evil.
38:12 Those who seek my life try to entrap me;
those who want to harm me speak destructive words;
all day long they say deceitful things.
62:3 How long will you threaten
All of you are murderers,
as dangerous as a leaning wall or an unstable fence.
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed.
They plan how to hide
and boast,
64:6 They devise
they disguise
Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered.
12:20 Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace
7:6 They approach him, all the while plotting against him.
Their hearts are like an oven;
their anger smolders all night long,
but in the morning it bursts into a flaming fire.
2:1 Those who devise sinful plans are as good as dead,
those who dream about doing evil as they lie in bed.
As soon as morning dawns they carry out their plans,
because they have the power to do so.
2:2 They confiscate the fields they desire,
and seize the houses they want.
They defraud people of their homes,
and deprive people of the land they have inherited.
2:3 Therefore the Lord says this: “Look, I am devising disaster for this nation!
It will be like a yoke from which you cannot free your neck.
You will no longer
for it will be a time of catastrophe.
1:11 From you, O Nineveh,
a wicked military strategist.
