Lamentations 3:52

Should evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.

lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed against him;” lest my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

But my enemies are vigorous and many. Those who hate me without reason are numerous.

who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who motions with his fingers,

He said, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then Yahweh said to me, “The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods?’

Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God’s Good News free of charge?

“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,

He said, “Why does my lord pursue his servant? For what have I done? What evil is in my hand?

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.

Don’t let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.

For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul. The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Yahweh.

The proud have dug pits for me, contrary to your law.

All of your commandments are faithful. They persecute me wrongfully. Help me!

One winking with the eye causes sorrow, but a chattering fool will fall.

All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Now the chief priests, the elders, and the whole council sought false testimony against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

He said to them, “This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me must be fulfilled.”

Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?”

while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness even until now.

For the poor will never cease out of the land. Therefore I command you to surely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor, in your land.

For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he wanders into its mesh.

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

The nations have sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

Vindicate me, Yahweh my God, according to your righteousness. Don’t let them gloat over me.

For I said, “Don’t let them gloat over me, or exalt themselves over me when my foot slips.”

For innumerable evils have surrounded me. My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up. They are more than the hairs of my head. My heart has failed me.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

The righteous shall be glad in Yahweh, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

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.

Don’t rejoice when your enemy falls. Don’t let your heart be glad when he is overthrown,

For my hand has made all these things, and so all these things came to be,” says Yahweh: “but I will look to this man, even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.

“Behold, I will send for many fishermen,” says Yahweh, “and they will fish them up. Afterward I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain, from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.

Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get herself away: and her cities will become a desolation, without anyone to dwell in them.

They hunt our steps, so that we can’t go in our streets. Our end is near. Our days are fulfilled, for our end has come.

“You, son of man, the Lord Yahweh says to the land of Israel, ‘An end! The end has come on the four corners of the land.

My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions’ mouths, and they have not hurt me; because as before him innocence was found in me; and also before you, O king, I have done no harm.”

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.

You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna?

Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into God’s Kingdom with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.

Immediately in the morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the whole council, held a consultation, bound Jesus, carried him away, and delivered him up to Pilate.

In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom.

As soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people were gathered together, both chief priests and scribes, and they led him away into their council, saying,

But they insisted, saying, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place.”

The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, “What are we doing? For this man does many signs.

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”

When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus;

In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another;

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.

not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

He said to me, “I have become the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.

In Yahweh, I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, “Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head. Those who want to cut me off, being my enemies wrongfully, are mighty. I have to restore what I didn’t take away.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words.

Moreover Jeremiah said to king Zedekiah, “How have I sinned against you, against your servants, or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.

But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
