  1. Proverbs 12:17 Hebrew breathes out

10 And set two (A)worthless men opposite him, and let them bring a charge against him, saying, (B)‘You have cursed[a] God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.” 11 And the men of his city, (C)the elders and the leaders who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them. As it was written in the letters that she had sent to them, 12 (D)they proclaimed a fast and set Naboth at the head of the people. 13 And the two worthless men came in and sat opposite him. And the worthless men brought a charge against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king.” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones. 14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned; he is dead.”

15 As soon as Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money, for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”

So you shall purge the evil[a] from your midst. 20 And the rest (E)shall hear and fear, and shall never again commit any such evil among you.

  1. Deuteronomy 19:19 Or evil person

I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. 10 So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who want to and puts them out of the church.
