Psalms 27: [2] Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to thee; when I lift up my hands to thy holy temple. [3] Draw me not away together with the wicked; and with the workers of iniquity destroy me not: Who speak peace with their neighbour, but evils are in their hearts.

[4] Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their inventions. According to the works of their hands give thou to them: render to them their reward. [5] Because they have not understood the works of the Lord, and the operations of his hands: thou shalt destroy them, and shalt not build them up.

Psalms 52: [3] God looked down from heaven on the children of men: to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.

[4] All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, there is none that doth good, no not one. [5] Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they eat bread?

Proverbs 1: [10] My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.

[11] If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause: [12] Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.

[13] We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils. [14] Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse. [15] My son, walk not thou with them, restrain thy foot from their paths.

[16] For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. [17] But a net is spread in vain before the eyes of them that have wings. [18] And they themselves lie in wait for their own blood, and practise deceits against their own souls.

Wisdom 2: [6] Come therefore, and let us enjoy the good things that are present, and let us speedily use the creatures as in youth. [7] Let us fill ourselves with costly wine, and ointments: and let not the flower of the time pass by us.

[8] Let us crown ourselves with roses, before they be withered: let no meadow escape our riot. [9] Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us everywhere leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot. [10] Let us oppress the poor just man, and not spare the widow, nor honour the ancient grey hairs of the aged.

[11] But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth. [12] Let us therefore lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life.

[13] He boasteth that he hath the knowledge of God, and calleth himself the son of God. [14] He is become a censurer of our thoughts. [15] He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different.

[16] We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. [17] Let us see then if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen to him, and we shall know what his end shall be.

[18] For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies. [19] Let us examine him by outrages and tortures, that we may know his meekness and try his patience. [20] Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words.

[21] These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them. [22] And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls.

[23] For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. [24] But by the envy of the devil, death came into the world:

[25] And they follow him that are of his side.


Psalms 91: [8] When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever: [9] But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore. [10] For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

Ecclesiasticus 21: [3] The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, killing the souls of men. [4] All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof. [5] Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of the proud shall be rooted out.

[6] The prayer out of the mouth of the poor shall reach the ears of God, and judgment shall come for him speedily. [7] He that hateth to be reproved walketh in the trace of a sinner: and he that feareth God will turn to his own heart.

[8] He that is mighty by a bold tongue is known afar off, but a wise man knoweth to slip by him. [9] He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter. [10] The congregation of sinners is like tow heaped together, and the end of them is a flame of fire.

[11] The way of sinners is made plain with stones, and in their end is hell, and darkness, and pains.

Psalms 117: [4] Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. [5] In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.

[6] The Lord is my helper, I will not fear what man can do unto me. [7] The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies. [8] It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.

[9] It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.[10] All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.

[11] Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them. [12] They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them. [13] Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.

[14] The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation. [15] The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.

[16] The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exulted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength. [17] I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.


Ezechiel (Ezeckiel) 15: [7] And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from fire, and fire shall consume them: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have set my face against them. [8] And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.
