2 Samuel 11:14-17

14 In the morning David ^awrote a letter to Joab and sent it by the hand of Uriah. 15 In the letter he wrote, “Set Uriah in the forefront of the hardest fighting, and then draw back from him, ^bthat he may be struck down, and die.” 16 And as Joab was besieging the city, he assigned Uriah to the place where he knew there were valiant men. 17 And the men of the city came out and fought with Joab, and some of the servants of David among the people fell. Uriah the Hittite also died.

Psalms 10:8-10

8 He sits in ambush in the villages;
in ^chiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9 he lurks in ambush like ^da lion in his ^ethicket;
he ^flurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his ^gnet.
10 The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.

Micah 2:1-2

Woe to the Oppressors

1 ^hWoe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil ⁱon their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2 They covet fields and ^jseize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.

Ephesians 5:7-11

7 Therefore ^kdo not become partners with them; 8 for ^lat one time you were ^mdarkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ⁿWalk as children of light 9 (for ^othe fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and ^ptry to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 ^qTake no part in the ^runfruitful ^sworks of darkness, but instead ^texpose them.
