2 Samuel 4:9-12

9 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, ^a“As the Lord lives, ^bwho has redeemed my life out of every adversity, 10 ^cwhen one told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, ^dI seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news. 11 How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now ^erequire his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth?” 12 And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged them beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it ^fin the tomb of Abner at Hebron.

Psalms 101:5-8

5 Whoever slanders his neighbor ^gsecretly
I will ^hdestroy.
Whoever has a ⁱhaughty look and an ^jarrogant heart
I will not endure.
6 I will look with favor on the faithful in the land,
that they may dwell with me;
he who walks in ^kthe way that is blameless
shall minister to me.
7 No one who ^lpractices deceit
shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies
shall ^mcontinue before my eyes.
8 ⁿMorning by morning I will destroy
all the wicked in the land,
^ocutting off all ^pthe evildoers
from ^qthe city of the Lord.

Proverbs 20:8

8 ^rA king who sits on the throne of judgment
^swinnows all evil with his eyes.
