Isaiah 31:4

4 For thus the Lord said to me,
^a“As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey,
and when a band of shepherds is called out against him
he is not terrified by their shouting
or daunted at their noise,
^bso the Lord of hosts will come down
to fight ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for hosts and to fight sound alike} on Mount Zion and on its hill.

Acts 16:22

22 The crowd joined in attacking them, and the magistrates tore the garments off them and gave orders ^dto beat them with rods.

Acts 18:12

12 But when Gallio was ^eproconsul of Achaia, ^fthe Jews ^{▼▼Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time; also verses 14 (twice), 28} made a united attack on Paul and ^hbrought him before the tribunal,

Acts 19:24-29

24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, ⁱbrought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 ^jThese he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, ^ksaying that ^lgods made with hands are not gods. 27 And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the ^mgreat goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”

28 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, ⁿ“Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29 So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and ^oAristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul’s ^pcompanions in travel.

Acts 21:28-30

28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who ^qis teaching everyone everywhere against the people and ^rthe law and ^sthis place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and ^thas defiled ^uthis holy place.” 29 For they had previously seen ^vTrophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30 Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and ^wdragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
