for wicked men live among My people. They watch like fowlers lying in wait. They set a trap; they catch men.

If they say—“ Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, still healthy as they go down to the Pit.We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder.Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share our money”—my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path,because their feet run toward trouble and they hurry to commit murder.It is foolish to spread a net where any bird can see it,but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it.

Their feet run after evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are sinful thoughts; ruin and wretchedness are in their paths.

Only if the king extends the gold scepter will that person live. I have not been summoned to appear before the king for the last 30 days.”Esther’s response was reported to Mordecai.Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther,“ Don’t think that you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the king’s palace.If you keep silent at this time, liberation and deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another place, but you and your father’s house will be destroyed. Who knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a time as this.”

Ahithophel said to Absalom,“ Let me choose 12,000 men, and I will set out in pursuit of David tonight.I will attack him while he is weak and weary, throw him into a panic, and all the people with him will scatter. I will strike down only the kingand bring all the people back to you. When everyone returns except the man you’re seeking, all the people will be at peace.”This proposal seemed good to Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

For my people and I have been sold out to destruction, death, and extermination. If we had merely been sold as male and female slaves, I would have kept silent. Indeed, the trouble wouldn’t be worth burdening the king.”King Ahasuerus spoke up and asked Queen Esther,“ Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”Esther answered,“ The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman.” Haman stood terrified before the king and queen.

How sad for me! For I am like one who— when the summer fruit has been gathered after the gleaning of the grape harvest— finds no grape cluster to eat, no early fig, which I crave.Godly people have vanished from the land; there is no one upright among the people. All of them wait in ambush to shed blood; they hunt each other with a net.
