Nahum 1 (KJV)

2 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

6 Who can stand before his indignation (rage, danger)? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn (decorous, nice) feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.

Psalm 69 (KJV)

1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2 I sink in deep mire (swamp), where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.

4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

10 When I wept, and chastened (disciplined) my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach (disgrace).

14 Deliver me out of the mire (swamp), and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.

16 Hear me, O Lord; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
17 And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

18 Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem (reclaim) it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

19 Thou hast known my reproach (disgrace), and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries (Satan's followers) are all before thee.
20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

27 Add iniquity (wickedness) unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

29 But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

33 For the Lord heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalm 71 (KJV)

1 In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline (lean over) thine ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

4 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth.
6 By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually of thee.

7 I am as a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge.
8 Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.

9 Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 For mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him.

12 O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Let them be confounded (confused) and consumed that are adversaries (enemies) to my soul; let them be covered with reproach (disgrace)and dishonour that seek my hurt.

14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers thereof.

16 I will go in the strength of the Lord God: I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.

17 O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Now also when I am old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee!

20 Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

21 Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.

22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery (stringed instrument), even thy truth, O my God: unto thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.

23 My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing unto thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed (repossessed).
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded (confused), for they are brought unto shame, that seek my hurt.

Exodus 23 (KJV)

1 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
2 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest  [forcibly pull (something) from a person's grasp.] judgment:
3 Neither shalt thou countenance (put up with) a poor man in his cause (matter).
6 Thou shalt not wrest [forcibly pull (something) from a person's grasp.] the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

7 Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.
8 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.
9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger : for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.

20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

24 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
25 And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Psalm 38 (KJV)

4 For mine iniquities (wickedness) are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

17 For I am ready to halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

20 They also that render (provide) evil for good are mine adversaries (enemies); because I follow the thing that good is.

1 Peter 5 (KJV)

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint (a limitation or restriction.), but willingly; not for filthy lucre (money, esp. when regarded as sordid or distasteful or gained in a dishonorable way.), but of a ready mind;
3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject (concerned) one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

8 Be sober, be vigilant (attentive); because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

1 Timothy 5 (KJV)

1 Rebuke not an elder, but intreat (interact with) him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

2 The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

5 Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate (lonely), trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications (requests) and prayers night and day.

6 But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.

7 And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.

8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel (nonworshiper).

11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax (develope) wanton (lewdness) against Christ, they will marry;

12 Having damnation (loss of the soul), because they have cast (tossed) off their first faith.

13 And withal they learn to be idle (unproductive), wandering about from house to house; and not only idle (unproductive), but tattlers (gossipers) also and busybodies (snoops), speaking things which they ought not.

14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary (devil) to speak reproachfully (shame).

15 For some are already turned aside after Satan.

20 Them that sin rebuke (correct) before all, that others also may fear.

21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality (preference).

22 Lay (connect) hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker (company) of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

24 Some men's sins are open beforehand (in advance), going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

25 Likewise also the good works of some are manifest (apparent) beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.
