Psalm 56:7
New King James Version
7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
In anger cast down the peoples, O God!
Psalm 55:23
New King James Version
23 But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction;
(A)Bloodthirsty and deceitful men (B)shall not live out half their days;
But I will trust in You.
Habakkuk 1:13
New King James Version
13 You are of purer eyes than to behold evil,
And cannot look on wickedness.
Why do You look on those who deal treacherously,
And hold Your tongue when the wicked devours
A person more righteous than he?
Jeremiah 18:19-23
New King James Version
19 Give heed to me, O Lord,
And listen to the voice of those who contend with me!
20 (A)Shall evil be repaid for good?
For they have (B)dug a pit for my life.
Remember that I (C)stood before You
To speak good [a]for them,
To turn away Your wrath from them.
21 Therefore (D)deliver up their children to the famine,
And pour out their blood
By the force of the sword;
Let their wives become widows
And (E)bereaved of their children.
Let their men be put to death,
Their young men be slain
By the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses,
When You bring a troop suddenly upon them;
For they have dug a pit to take me,
And hidden snares for my feet.
23 Yet, Lord, You know all their counsel
Which is against me, to slay me.
(F)Provide no atonement for their iniquity,
Nor blot out their sin from Your sight;
But let them be overthrown before You.
Deal thus with them
In the time of Your (G)anger.

And made his dwelling place desolate.

And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

And condemn (B)innocent blood.
