Proverbs 30:13-14
13There are those—how alofty are their eyes,how high their eyelids lift!
14There are those whose teeth are bswords,
whose cfangs are knives,
to ddevour the poor from off the earth,
the needy from among mankind.
Isaiah 51:7

Jeremiah 18:18
18Then they said, h“Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah, ifor the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. jCome, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.”Ezekiel 3:9
9Like kemery harder than flint have I made your forehead. lFear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”Ezekiel 3:26-27
26And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that myou shall be mute and unable to reprove them, nfor they are a rebellious house. 27 oBut when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, p‘Thus says the Lord God.’ qHe who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.Amos 7:10-17
Amos Accused
10Then Amaziah rthe priest of Bethel sent to sJeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has tconspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11For thus Amos has said,“‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and uIsrael must go into exile
away from his land.’”
12And Amaziah said to Amos, v“O seer, go, flee away wto the land of Judah, and xeat bread there, and prophesy there, 13but ynever again prophesy at Bethel, for zit is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
14Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, aa“I was ▼
▼Or am; twice in this verse
no prophet, nor a prophet’s son, but acI was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 adBut the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 aeNow therefore hear the word of the Lord. “You say, af‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
and agdo not preach against the house of ahIsaac.’
17 aiTherefore thus says the Lord:
“‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
and your land ajshall be divided up with a measuring line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
and akIsrael shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”
Hebrews 11:27
27By faith he alleft Egypt, amnot being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured anas seeing him who is invisible.
