Genesis 37:5-11

5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: 7 Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, ^amy sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and ^bbowed down to my sheaf.” 8 His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and ^cyour mother and your brothers indeed come ^dto bow ourselves to the ground before you?” 11 And ^ehis brothers were jealous of him, ^fbut his father kept the saying in mind.

Genesis 37:20

20 Come now, ^glet us kill him and throw him into one of the pits. ^{▼▼Or cisterns; also verses 22, 24} Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.”

28 Now Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spoke to the men. And Eliab’s anger was kindled against David, and he said, “Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your presumption and the evil of your heart, for you have come down to see the battle.”

Jeremiah 12:6

6 For ⁱeven your brothers and the house of your father,
^jeven they have dealt treacherously with you;
they are in full cry after you;
^kdo not believe them,
though they speak friendly words to you.”

Matthew 22:16-17

16 And they sent ^ltheir disciples to him, along with ^mthe Herodians, saying, “Teacher, ⁿwe know that you are true and teach ^othe way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone’s opinion, for ^pyou are not swayed by appearances. ^{▼▼Greek for you do not look at people’s faces} 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay ^rtaxes to ^sCaesar, or not?”
