Gen 31:36, 1Sa 24:9-15, 26:18-21, Pro 17:13, 26, Jer 26:19, Dan 6:22 | ESV | STEP | Then Jacob became angry and berated Laban . Jacob said to Laban , What is my offense ? What is my sin , that you have hotly pursued me ?

9 And David said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Behold, David seeks your harm’? 10 Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the Lord gave you today into my hand in the cave. ^aAnd some told me to kill you, but I spared you. ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum; Hebrew it [my eye] spared you} I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, ^cfor he is the Lord’s anointed.’ 11 See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that ^dthere is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though ^eyou hunt my life to take it. 12 ^fMay the Lord judge between me and you, may the Lord avenge me against you, but my hand shall not be against you. 13 As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes wickedness.’ But my hand shall not be against you. 14 After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom do you pursue? ^gAfter a dead dog! ^hAfter a flea! 15 ⁱMay the Lord therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and ^jplead my cause and deliver me from your hand.”

1 Samuel 26:18-21

18 And he said, ^k“Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands? 19 Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the Lord, ^lfor they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in ^mthe heritage of the Lord, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’ 20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the Lord, for the king of Israel has come out to seek ⁿa single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

21 Then Saul said, ^o“I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day. Behold, I have acted foolishly, and have made a great mistake.”

Proverbs 17:13

13 If anyone ^preturns evil for good,
^qevil will not depart from his house.

Proverbs 17:26

26 ^rTo impose a fine on a righteous man is not good,
nor to strike the noble for their uprightness.

Jeremiah 26:19

19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? ^sDid he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, ^tand did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? ^uBut we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.”

Daniel 6:22

22 My God ^vsent his angel ^wand shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not harmed me, because I was found blameless ^xbefore him; ^yand also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”
