Jeremiah 9:3-8
And they bend their tongue, as it were their bow, for falsehood; and they are grown strong in the land, but not for truth: for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith Jehovah.Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother; for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will go about with slanders.And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity.Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith Jehovah.Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?Their tongue is a deadly arrow; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.

Micah 7:3-6
Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.Trust ye not in a neighbor; put ye not confidence in a friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.For the son dishonoreth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter- in- law against her mother- in- law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

Job 30:1-12
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.They pluck salt- wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.They are driven forth from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief;So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.They are children of fools, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land.And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my face.For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.Upon my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

2 Samuel 16 5-2 Samuel 16 9
And when king David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out thence a man of the family of the house of Saul, whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out, and cursed still as he came.And he cast stones at David, and at all the servants of king David: and all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.And thus said Shimei when he cursed, Begone, begone, thou man of blood, and base fellow:Jehovah hath returned upon thee all the blood of the house of Saul, in whose stead thou hast reigned; and Jehovah hath delivered the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son; and, behold, thou art taken in thine own mischief, because thou art a man of blood.Then said Abishai the son of Zeruiah unto the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, and take off his head.
