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 hearts; They continually gather together for war.They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; The poison of asps is under their lips. SelahKeep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; Preserve me from violent men, Who have purposed to make my steps stumble.The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; They have spread a net by the wayside; They have set traps for me. Selah

And when it was day, some of the Jews banded together and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.Now there were more than forty who had formed this conspiracy.They came to the chief priests and elders, and said,“ We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.Now you, therefore, together with the council, suggest to the commander that he be brought down to you tomorrow, as though you were going to make further inquiries concerning him; but we are ready to kill him before he comes near.”

Luke 23:8-24
Now when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceedingly glad; for he had desired for a long time to see Him, because he had heard many things about Him, and he hoped to see some miracle done by Him.Then he questioned Him with many words, but He answered him nothing.And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused Him.Then Herod, with his men of war, treated Him with contempt and mocked Him, arrayed Him in a gorgeous robe, and sent Him back to Pilate.That very day Pilate and Herod became friends with each other, for previously they had been at enmity with each other.Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people,said to them,“ You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him;no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him.I will therefore chastise Him and release Him”

Jeremiah 38:4
Therefore the princes said to the king,“ Please, let this man be put to death, for thus he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, by speaking such words to them. For this man does not seek the welfare of this people, but their harm.”

Psalms 64:2-6
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows— bitter words,That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not fear.They encourage themselves in an evil matter; They talk of laying snares secretly; They say,“ Who will see them?”They devise iniquities:“ We have perfected a shrewd scheme.” Both the inward thought and the heart of man are deep.
