Jeremiah 18:18
Then they said,“ Come and let’s devise plans against Jeremiah. Certainly the Law is not going to be lost by the priest, nor advice by the wise, nor the divine word by the prophet! Come, and let’s strike at him with our tongue, and let’s pay no attention to any of his words.”

Psalms 140:1-5
Rescue me, Lord, from evil people; Protect me from violent menWho devise evil things in their hearts; They continually stir up wars.They sharpen their tongues like a snake; The venom of a viper is under their lips. SelahKeep me, Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Protect me from violent men Who intend to trip up my feet.The proud have hidden a trap for me, and snares; They have spread a net at the wayside; They have set snares for me. Selah

Acts 23:12-15
When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and put themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.There were more than forty who formed this plot.They came to the chief priests and the elders and said,“ We have put ourselves under an oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to investigate his case more thoroughly; and as for us, we are ready to kill him before he comes near the place.”

Luke 23:8-24
Now Herod was overjoyed when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.And he questioned Him at some length; but He offered him no answer at all.Now the chief priests and the scribes stood there, vehemently charging Him.And Herod, together with his soldiers, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, dressing Him in a brightly shining robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.And so Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for previously, they had been enemies toward each other.Now Pilate summoned to himself the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,and he said to them,“ You brought this man to me on the ground that he is inciting the people to revolt; and behold, after examining Him before you, I have found no basis at all in the case of this man for the charges which you are bringing against Him.No, nor has Herod, for he sent Him back to us; and behold, nothing deserving death has been done by Him.Therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”[ Now he was obligated to release to them at the feast one prisoner.]But they cried out all together, saying,“ Away with this man, and release to us Barabbas!”( He was one who had been thrown into prison for a revolt that took place in the city, and for murder.)But Pilate, wanting to release Jesus, addressed them again,but they kept on crying out, saying,“ Crucify, crucify Him!”And he said to them a third time,“ Why, what has this man done wrong? I have found in His case no grounds for a sentence of death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him.”But they were insistent, with loud voices, demanding that He be crucified. And their voices began to prevail.And so Pilate decided to have their demand carried out.

Jeremiah 38:4
Then the officials said to the king,“ Please have this man put to death, since he is discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and all the people, by speaking words like these to them; for this man is not seeking the well being of this people, but rather their harm.”

Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret discussion of evildoers, From the restlessness of the workers of injustice,Who have sharpened their tongues like a sword. They aimed bitter speech as their arrows,To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.They make firm for themselves an evil purpose; They talk of setting snares secretly; They say,“ Who can see them?”They devise injustices, saying,“ We are ready with a well conceived plot”; For the inward thought and the heart of a person are deep.

Acts 26:9-11
“ So I thought to myself that I had to act in strong opposition to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.And this is just what I did in Jerusalem; not only did I lock up many of the saints in prisons, after receiving authority from the chief priests, but I also cast my vote against them when they were being put to death.And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and since I was extremely enraged at them, I kept pursuing them even to foreign cities.
