29 ^dRemember them, O my God, because they have desecrated the priesthood ^eand the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.

Psalms 36:11-12

nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There ^fthe evildoers lie fallen;
they are thrust down, ^gunable to rise.

Psalms 140:5-11

5 The arrogant have ^hhidden a trap for me,
and with cords they have spread ⁱa net; ^{▼▼Or they have spread cords as a net}
beside the way they have set ^ksnares for me. Selah
6 ^lI say to the Lord, You are my God;
give ear to ^mthe voice of my pleas for mercy, O Lord!
7 O Lord, my Lord, ⁿthe strength of my salvation,
you have covered my head in the day of battle.
8 ^oGrant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked;
do not further their ^{▼▼Hebrew his} evil plot, or ^qthey will be exalted! Selah
9 As for the head of those who surround me,
let ^rthe mischief of their lips overwhelm them!
10 Let ^sburning coals fall upon them!
Let them be cast into fire,
into miry pits, no more to rise!
11 Let not the slanderer be established in the land;
let evil hunt down the violent man speedily!

Jeremiah 11:20-23

20 But, O Lord of hosts, who judges righteously,
who ^ttests ^uthe heart and the mind,
^vlet me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you have I committed my cause.
21 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the men of ^wAnathoth, ^xwho seek your life, and say, ^y“Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord, or you will die by our hand”— 22 therefore thus says the Lord of hosts: “Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword, their sons and their daughters shall die by famine, 23 and none of them shall be left. For I will bring disaster upon the men of ^zAnathoth, ^aathe year of their punishment.”

Jeremiah 18:20-23

20 ^abShould good be repaid with evil?
Yet ^acthey have dug a pit for my life.
^adRemember how I stood before you
to speak good for them,
to turn away your wrath from them.
21 Therefore ^aedeliver up their children to famine;
give them over to the power of the sword;
let their wives become childless ^afand widowed.
May their men meet death by pestilence,
their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
22 ^agMay a cry be heard from their houses,
when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!
For ^ahthey have dug a pit to take me
^aiand laid snares for my feet.
23 Yet ^ajyou, O Lord, know
all their plotting to kill me.
^akForgive not their iniquity,
nor blot out their sin from your sight.
Let them be overthrown before you;
deal with them in the time of your anger.
