Jeremiah Spared from Death
16 (A)Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, (B)“This man does not deserve the sentence of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.” 17 (C)And certain of (D)the elders of the land arose and spoke to all the assembled people, saying, 18 “Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and said to all the people of Judah: ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts,
(E)“‘Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the house a wooded height.’
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? (F)Did he not fear the Lord and entreat the favor of the Lord, (G)and did not the Lord relent of the disaster that he had pronounced against them? (H)But we are about to bring great disaster upon ourselves.”

Job 29:12-17
English Standard Version
12 because I (A)delivered the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to help him.
13 (B)The blessing of him who was (C)about to perish came upon me,
and I caused (D)the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I (E)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
my justice was like a robe and (F)a turban.
15 I was (G)eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to the needy,
and I searched out (H)the cause of him whom I did not know.
17 I (I)broke (J)the fangs of the unrighteous
and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
Esther 4:13-16
English Standard Version
13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, “Do not think to yourself that in the king's palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. 14 For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” 15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, 16 “Go, gather all the Jews to be found in Susa, and hold a fast on my behalf, and do not eat or drink for (A)three days, night or day. I and my young women will also fast as you do. Then I will go to the king, though it is against the law, (B)and if I perish, I perish.”[a]

4 And Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king (A)sin against his servant David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his deeds have brought good to you. 5 For (B)he took his life in his hand (C)and he struck down the Philistine, (D)and the Lord worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against (E)innocent blood by killing David without cause?” 6 And Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan.
