Psalms 62:4

“But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” says Yahweh: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and I will write it in their heart. I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The great dragon was thrown down, the old serpent, he who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world. He was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

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

But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

At this, Pilate was seeking to release him, but the Jews cried out, saying, “If you release this man, you aren’t Caesar’s friend! Everyone who makes himself a king speaks against Caesar!”

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.

I delight to do your will, my God. Yes, your law is within my heart.”

When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have participated with adulterers.

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.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won’t tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.

As a roaring lion or a charging bear, so is a wicked ruler over helpless people.

There is a generation, oh how lofty are their eyes! Their eyelids are lifted up.

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.

Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

and said to them, “You brought this man to me as one that perverts the people, and behold, having examined him before you, I found no basis for a charge against this man concerning those things of which you accuse him.

I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,

whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

Beware of the dogs; beware of the evil workers; beware of the false circumcision.

that they all might be judged who didn’t believe the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

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

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

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

O Yahweh, don’t your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

Their quiver is an open tomb. They are all mighty men.

Then the princes said to the king, “Please let this man be put to death; because he weakens the hands of the men of war who remain in this city, and the hands of all the people, in speaking such words to them: for this man doesn’t seek the welfare of this people, but harm.”

They will fall among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.

Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

the field is the world; and the good seed, these are the children of the Kingdom; and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.

Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

They answered him, “If this man weren’t an evildoer, we wouldn’t have delivered him up to you.”

For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded.

but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the local governors, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever asks a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.

When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts. You teach me wisdom in the inmost place.

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth.

I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your law.

whose mouths speak deceit, whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood,

A righteous man hates lies, but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.

No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity, and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and give birth to iniquity.

They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

It was now two days before the feast of the Passover and the unleavened bread, and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might seize him by deception, and kill him.

The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

They watched him and sent out spies, who pretended to be righteous, that they might trap him in something he said, so as to deliver him up to the power and authority of the governor.

You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

For I delight in God’s law after the inward man,

With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
