Psalms 2:1

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed

1 ^cWhy do ^dthe nations rage ^{▼▼Or nations noisily assemble}
and the peoples plot in vain?

Psalms 7:14

14 Behold, the wicked man ^fconceives evil
and is ^gpregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.

Isaiah 8:9-10

9 Be broken, ^{▼▼Or Be evil} you peoples, and ⁱbe shattered; ^{▼▼Or dismayed}
give ear, all you far countries;
strap on your armor and be shattered;
strap on your armor and be shattered.
10 Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing;
speak a word, ^kbut it will not stand,
for God ^lis with us. ^{▼▼The Hebrew for God is with us is Immanuel}

Isaiah 10:7-14

7 But he ⁿdoes not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
8 for he says:
^o“Are not my commanders all kings?
9 ^pIs not ^qCalno like ^rCarchemish?
Is not ^sHamath like ^tArpad?
^uIs not ^vSamaria like Damascus?
10 As my hand has reached to ^wthe kingdoms of the idols,
whose carved images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
11 shall I not do to Jerusalem and ^xher idols
^yas I have done to Samaria and her images?”
12 ^zWhen the Lord has finished all his work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, ^aahe ^{▼▼Hebrew I} will punish the speech of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the boastful look in his eyes. 13 ^acFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14 My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”

Isaiah 17:13

13 ^adThe nations roar like the roaring of many waters,
^aebut he will rebuke them, and they will flee far away,
chased ^aflike chaff on the mountains before the wind
and ^agwhirling dust before the storm.

Isaiah 29:5-8

5 But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like ^ahsmall dust,
and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff.
^aiAnd in an instant, suddenly,
6 ^ajyou will be visited by the Lord of hosts
with thunder and with earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7 And ^akthe multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
shall be ^allike a dream, a vision of the night.
8 ^amAs when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating,
and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking
and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
that fight against Mount Zion.

Isaiah 59:4

4 ^anNo one enters suit justly;
no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies,
^aothey conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.
