Genesis 44:4

4 They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his ^asteward, “Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good? ^{▼▼Septuagint (compare Vulgate) adds Why have you stolen my silver cup?}

Psalms 35:7-12

7 For ^cwithout cause ^dthey hid their net for me;
without cause they dug ^ea pit for my life. ^{▼▼The word pit is transposed from the preceding line; Hebrew For without cause they hid the pit of their net for me; without cause they dug for my life}
8 Let ^gdestruction come upon him ^hwhen he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his destruction!
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord,
ⁱexulting in his salvation.
10 All my ^jbones shall say,
“O Lord, ^kwho is like you,
delivering the poor
from him who is too strong for him,
the poor and needy from him who robs him?”
11 ^lMalicious ^{▼▼Or Violent} witnesses rise up;
they ask me of things that I do not know.
12 ⁿThey repay me evil for good;
my soul is bereft. ^{▼▼Hebrew it is bereavement to my soul}

Proverbs 17:13

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