Psalms 10:8-18
He waits in ambush near the villages; he kills the innocent in secret places. His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize the afflicted; he seizes the afflicted and drags him in his net.So he is oppressed and beaten down; the helpless fall because of his strength.He says to himself,“ God has forgotten; He hides His face and will never see.”Rise up, Lord God! Lift up Your hand. Do not forget the afflicted.Why has the wicked person despised God? He says to himself,“ You will not demand an account.”But You Yourself have seen trouble and grief, observing it in order to take the matter into Your hands. The helpless entrusts himself to You; You are a helper of the fatherless.Break the arm of the wicked and evil person; call his wickedness into account until nothing remains of it.The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish from His land.Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will listen carefully,doing justice for the fatherless and the oppressed so that men of the earth may terrify them no more.

Luke 20:19-26
Then the scribes and the chief priests looked for a way to get their hands on Him that very hour, because they knew He had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.They questioned Him,“ Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?”But detecting their craftiness, He said to them,“ Show Me a denarius. Whose image and inscription does it have?”“ Caesar’s,” they said.“ Well then,” He told them,“ give back to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s.”They were not able to catch Him in what He said in public, and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.
