Job 5:21

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

He who justifies me is near. Who will bring charges against me? Let us stand up together. Who is my adversary? Let him come near to me.

There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.

Behold, they may gather together, but not by me. Whoever gathers together against you will fall because of you.

I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation, the power, and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ has come; for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night.

For this, let everyone who is godly pray to you in a time when you may be found. Surely when the great waters overflow, they shall not reach to him.

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.

You are my hiding place. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

The words of the wicked are about lying in wait for blood, but the speech of the upright rescues them.

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.

But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans against me, saying, “Let’s destroy the tree with its fruit, and let’s cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.”

When he came near to the den to Daniel, he cried with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whom you serve continually, able to deliver you from the lions?”

For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh! My soul will be joyful in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation. He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith,

but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

Now I know that Yahweh is greater than all gods because of the way that they treated people arrogantly.”

and Saul threw the spear, for he said, “I will pin David to the wall!” David escaped from his presence twice.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor perish forever.

In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.

For they intended evil against you. They plotted evil against you which cannot succeed.

Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.

Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Blessed is the man who makes Yahweh his trust, and doesn’t respect the proud, nor such as turn away to lies.

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

They conspire with cunning against your people. They plot against your cherished ones.

God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.

For the lips of an adulteress drip honey. Her mouth is smoother than oil,

He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords, and their jaws like knives, to devour the poor from the earth, and the needy from among men.

“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.

then you will delight yourself in Yahweh, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.

For I have heard the defaming of many, “Terror on every side! Denounce, and we will denounce him!” say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall. “Perhaps he will be persuaded, and we will prevail against him, and we will take our revenge on him.”

In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely. This is his name by which he will be called: Yahweh our righteousness.

For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of Yahweh of Armies.

even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ to all and on all those who believe. For there is no distinction,

For Christ is the fulfillment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:

For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions,

So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!

But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

saying, “Don’t harm the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the bondservants of our God on their foreheads!”

They put away the foreign gods from among them and served Yahweh; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord Yahweh. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you. According to the greatness of your power, preserve those who are sentenced to death.

Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.

Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. Viper’s poison is under their lips.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword, but the tongue of the wise heals.

Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty.

“Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit.” “The poison of vipers is under their lips.”

Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you have kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of those who reaped have entered into the ears of the Lord of Armies.

His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

The fool’s talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,” says Yahweh.

Then they said, “Come! Let’s devise plans against Jeremiah; for the law won’t perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let’s strike him with the tongue, and let’s not give heed to any of his words.”
