Jeremiah 18:18
Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Psalms 140:1-5
Deliver me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; Preserve me from the violent man:Who devise mischiefs in their heart; Continually do they gather themselves together for war.They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; Adders’ poison is under their lips.[ SelahKeep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set gins for me.[ Selah

Acts 23:12-15
And when it was day, the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.And they were more than forty that made this conspiracy.And they came to the chief priests and the elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.Now therefore do ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you, as though ye would judge of his case more exactly: and we, before he comes near, are ready to slay him.

Luke 23:8-24
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was of a long time desirous to see him, because he had heard concerning him; and he hoped to see some miracle done by him.And he questioned him in many words; but he answered him nothing.And the chief priests and the scribes stood, vehemently accusing him.And Herod with his soldiers set him at nought, and mocked him, and arraying him in gorgeous apparel sent him back to Pilate.And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day: for before they were at enmity between themselves.And Pilate called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,and said unto them, Ye brought unto me this man, as one that perverteth the people: and behold, I, having examined him before you, found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:no, nor yet Herod: for he sent him back unto us; and behold, nothing worthy of death hath been done by him.I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

Then the princes said unto the king, Let this man, we pray thee, be put to death; forasmuch as he weakeneth the hands of the men of war that remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words unto them: for this man seeketh not the welfare of this people, but the hurt.

Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil- doers, From the tumult of the workers of iniquity;Who have whet their tongue like a sword, And have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,That they may shoot in secret places at the perfect: Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.They encourage themselves in an evil purpose; They commune of laying snares privily; They say, Who will see them?They search out iniquities; We have accomplished, say they, a diligent search: And the inward thought and the heart of every one is deep.

Acts 26:9-11
I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.And this I also did in Jerusalem: and I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests, and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.And punishing them oftentimes in all the synagogues, I strove to make them blaspheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto foreign cities.
