Psalms 109:2-3
2For wicked and adeceitful mouths are opened against me,speaking against me with lying tongues.
3They encircle me with words of hate,
and attack me bwithout cause.
Isaiah 59:7
7 cTheir feet run to evil,and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
Jeremiah 5:26-27
26For wicked men are found among my people;dthey lurk like fowlers lying in wait. ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
fThey set a trap;
they catch men.
27Like a cage full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
therefore they have become great and rich;
Jeremiah 9:3-5
3 gThey bend their tongue like a bow;falsehood and not truth has grown strong ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew and not for truth they have grown strong
in the land;for they proceed from evil to evil,
iand they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 jLet everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every kbrother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor lgoes about as a slanderer.
5Everyone deceives his neighbor,
and no one speaks the truth;
they have taught their tongue to speak lies;
they weary themselves committing iniquity.
Matthew 26:4
4 mand plotted together in order to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.
