Imagine

Though they

intended evil against You

And devised a plot,
They will not succeed.

He plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a path that is not good;
He does not despise evil.

Who devise evil things in their hearts;
They continually stir up wars.

Do not devise harm against your neighbor,

While he lives securely beside you.

A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that run rapidly to evil,

But I was like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter;
And I did not know that they had devised plots against me, saying,
“Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
And let us cut him off from the land of the living,
That his name be remembered no more.”

Then they said, “Come and let us devise plans against Jeremiah. Surely the law is not going to be lost to the priest, nor counsel to the sage, nor the divine word to the prophet! Come on and let us strike at him with our tongue, and let us give no heed to any of his words.”

Woe to those who scheme iniquity,
Who work out evil on their beds!

When morning comes, they do it,

For it is in the power of their hands.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
