Jeremiah 18:18

Psalms 140:1-5
Deliver me, O Lord, from evil men; preserve me from violent men,who plan evil things in their heart and stir up wars continually.They make their tongue sharp as a serpent’s, and under their lips is the venom of asps. SelahGuard me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from violent men, who have planned to trip up my feet.The arrogant have hidden a trap for me, and with cords they have spread a net; beside the way they have set snares for me. Selah

Acts 23:12-15
When it was day, the Jews made a plot and bound themselves by an oath neither to eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.There were more than forty who made this conspiracy.They went to the chief priests and elders and said,“ We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food till we have killed Paul.Now therefore you, along with the council, give notice to the tribune to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case more exactly. And we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

Luke 23:8-24
When Herod saw Jesus, he was very glad, for he had long desired to see him, because he had heard about him, and he was hoping to see some sign done by him.So he questioned him at some length, but he made no answer.The chief priests and the scribes stood by, vehemently accusing him.And Herod with his soldiers treated him with contempt and mocked him. Then, arraying him in splendid clothing, he sent him back to Pilate.And Herod and Pilate became friends with each other that very day, for before this they had been at enmity with each other.Pilate then called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,and said to them,“ You brought me this man as one who was misleading the people. And after examining him before you, behold, I did not find this man guilty of any of your charges against him.Neither did Herod, for he sent him back to us. Look, nothing deserving death has been done by him.I will therefore punish and release him.”

Jeremiah 38:4
Then the officials said to the king,“ Let this man be put to death, for he is weakening the hands of the soldiers who are left in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man is not seeking the welfare of this people, but their harm.”
-
Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers,who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows,shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear.They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking,“ Who can see them?”They search out injustice, saying,“ We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep.

Acts 26:9-11
“ I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth.And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.And I punished them often in all the synagogues and tried to make them blaspheme, and in raging fury against them I persecuted them even to foreign cities.
