10:7 His mouth is full of curses and deceptive, harmful words; 1
his tongue injures and destroys. 2
10:8 He waits in ambush near the villages; 3
in hidden places he kills the innocent.
His eyes look for some unfortunate victim. 4
10:9 He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; 5
he lies in ambush, waiting to catch 6 the oppressed;
he catches the oppressed 7 by pulling in his net. 8
10:10 His victims are crushed and beaten down;
they are trapped in his sturdy nets. 9
64:4 in order to shoot down the innocent 10 in secluded places.
They shoot at him suddenly and are unafraid of retaliation. 11
64:5 They encourage one another to carry out their evil deed. 12
They plan how to hide 13 snares,
and boast, 14 “Who will see them?” 15
64:6 They devise 16 unjust schemes;
they disguise 17 a well-conceived plot. 18
Man’s inner thoughts cannot be discovered. 19
82:2 He says, 20 “How long will you make unjust legal decisions
and show favoritism to the wicked? 21 (Selah)
82:3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! 22
Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!
82:4 Rescue the poor and needy!
Deliver them from the power 23 of the wicked!
82:5 They 24 neither know nor understand.
They stumble 25 around in the dark,
while all the foundations of the earth crumble. 26
18:18 Then some people 27 said, “Come on! Let us consider how to deal with Jeremiah! 28 There will still be priests to instruct us, wise men to give us advice, and prophets to declare God’s word. 29 Come on! Let’s bring charges against him and get rid of him! 30 Then we will not need to pay attention to anything he says.”
7:2 Faithful men have disappeared 31 from the land;
there are no godly men left. 32
They all wait in ambush so they can shed blood; 33
they hunt their own brother with a net. 34
