8 (A)So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and she sent the letters to (B)the elders and the leaders who lived with Naboth in his city. 9 And she wrote in the letters, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth at the head of the people. 10 And set two (C)worthless men opposite him, and let them bring a charge against him, saying, (D)‘You have cursed[a] God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”

Micah 7:3-5
English Standard Version
3 (A)Their hands are on what is evil, to do it well;
(B)the prince and (C)the judge ask for a bribe,
and the great man utters the evil desire of his soul;
thus they weave it together.
4 The best of them is (D)like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of (E)your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
(F)now their confusion is at hand.
5 (G)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (H)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]

Jeremiah 17:9
English Standard Version
9 The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?
Jeremiah 9:1-4
English Standard Version
9 [a] (A)Oh that my head were waters,
and my eyes a fountain of tears,
that I might weep day and night
for the slain of (B)the daughter of my people!
2 [b] Oh that I had in the desert
a travelers' lodging place,
that I might leave my people
and go away from them!
For they are all (C)adulterers,
a company of (D)treacherous men.
3 (E)They bend their tongue like a bow;
falsehood and not truth has grown strong[c] in the land;
for they proceed from evil to evil,
(F)and they do not know me, declares the Lord.
4 (G)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every (H)brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor (I)goes about as a slanderer.

Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great transgression.
