they are in full cry after you;
(C)do not believe them,
though they speak friendly words to you.”
Proverbs 26:25
English Standard Version

4 (A)Let everyone beware of his neighbor,
and put no trust in any brother,
for every (B)brother is a deceiver,
and every neighbor (C)goes about as a slanderer.
Micah 7:5-6

5 (A)Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard (B)the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[a]
6 for (C)the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
(D)a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

Genesis 37:4-11
English Standard Version
4 But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him.
5 Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. 6 He said to them, “Hear this dream that I have dreamed: 7 Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, (A)my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and (B)bowed down to my sheaf.” 8 His brothers said to him, “Are you indeed to reign over us? Or are you indeed to rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
9 Then he dreamed another dream and told it to his brothers and said, “Behold, I have dreamed another dream. Behold, the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 But when he told it to his father and to his brothers, his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and (C)your mother and your brothers indeed come (D)to bow ourselves to the ground before you?” 11 And (E)his brothers were jealous of him, (F)but his father kept the saying in mind.

19 But I was (A)like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
I did not know (B)it was against me
they devised schemes, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
(C)let us cut him off from (D)the land of the living,
that his name be remembered no more.”
Acts 21:28-30

28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who (A)is teaching everyone everywhere against the people and (B)the law and (C)this place. Moreover, he even brought Greeks into the temple and (D)has defiled (E)this holy place.” 29 For they had previously seen (F)Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple. 30 Then all the city was stirred up, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and (G)dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.

Acts 19:24-29
English Standard Version
24 For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, (A)brought no little business to the craftsmen. 25 (B)These he gathered together, with the workmen in similar trades, and said, “Men, you know that from this business we have our wealth. 26 And you see and hear that not only in Ephesus but in almost all of Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away a great many people, (C)saying that (D)gods made with hands are not gods. 27 And there is danger not only that this trade of ours may come into disrepute but also that the temple of the (E)great goddess Artemis may be counted as nothing, and that she may even be deposed from her magnificence, she whom all Asia and the world worship.”
28 When they heard this they were enraged and were crying out, (F)“Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!” 29 So the city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed together into the theater, dragging with them Gaius and (G)Aristarchus, Macedonians who were Paul's (H)companions in travel.
