Loving God, do not
let us close our hearts to pity,
or speak arrogantly,
or drive away the needy.
Surely it must
displease you when we try
to entrap those who
displease us
and then hand them
over
to the authorities.
God, teach us your
ways,
that we may walk in
your paths.

Selected Verses
Ps. 17:10
[My enemies] close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they speak
arrogantly.
Isa. 2:3 a-b
Many peoples shall come and
say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths."
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths."
1 Thess. 2:15
…who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove
us out; they displease God and oppose everyone …
Luke 20:19-20
When the scribes and chief priests realized that [Jesus] had
told this parable against them, they wanted to lay hands on him at that very
hour, but they feared the people. So
they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap
him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority
of the governor.
