Psalms 10:7-10

7 aHis mouth is filled with cursing and bdeceit and coppression;
dunder his tongue are emischief and finiquity.
8He sits in ambush in the villages;
in ghiding places he murders the innocent.
His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9he lurks in ambush like ha lion in his ithicket;
he jlurks that he may seize the poor;
he seizes the poor when he draws him into his knet.
10The helpless are crushed, sink down,
and fall by his might.

Psalms 11:2

2for behold, the wicked lbend the bow;

to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;

Psalms 35:7-8

7 For nwithout cause othey hid their net for me;
without cause they dug pa 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

8Let rdestruction come upon him swhen he does not know it!
And let the net that he hid ensnare him;
let him fall into it—to his destruction!

Psalms 57:4-6

4 My soul is in the midst of tlions;
I lie down amid fiery beasts—
the children of man, whose uteeth are spears and arrows,
whose vtongues are sharp swords.
5 wBe exalted, O God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth!
6 They set xa net for my steps;
my soul was ybowed down.
They zdug a pit in my way,
but they have fallen into it themselves.  Selah

Mark 6:24-26

24And she went out and said to her mother, “For what should I ask?” And she said, “The head of John the Baptist.” 25And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.” 26And the king was exceedingly sorry, but because of his oaths and his guests he did not want to break his word to her.
