she called to her house servants and said, "Look at this! This Hebrew that my husband brought to the house is insulting us. He came into my room and tried to rape me, but I screamed as loud as I could.

Then she told him the same story: "That Hebrew slave that you brought here came into my room and insulted me.

Balaam answered, "Because you have made a fool of me! If I had a sword, I would kill you."

Balak clenched his fists in anger and said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, but three times now you have blessed them instead.

Delilah told Samson, "Look, you've been making a fool of me and not telling me the truth. Please tell me how someone could tie you up."

Even my friends laugh at me now; they laugh, although I am righteous and blameless; but there was a time when God answered my prayers.

The weight of stone and sand is nothing compared to the trouble that stupidity can cause.

Anger is cruel and destructive, but it is nothing compared to jealousy.

At that, the king flew into a rage and ordered the three men to be brought before him.

Then Nebuchadnezzar lost his temper, and his face turned red with anger at Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So he ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual.

"Why are you crying, sir?" Hazael asked. "Because I know the horrible things you will do against the people of Israel," Elisha answered. "You will set their fortresses on fire, slaughter their finest young men, batter their children to death, and rip open their pregnant women."

Poor people are helpless against a wicked ruler; he is as dangerous as a growling lion or a prowling bear.

Someone guilty of murder is digging his own grave as fast as he can. Don't try to stop him.

The LORD is coming from his heavenly dwelling place to punish the people of the earth for their sins. The murders that were secretly committed on the earth will be revealed, and the ground will no longer hide those who have been killed.

You are always planning something evil, and you can hardly wait to do it. You never hesitate to murder innocent people. You leave ruin and destruction wherever you go,

war will come to your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed. It will be like the day when King Shalman destroyed the city of Betharbel in battle, and mothers and their children were crushed to death.

And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people and the blood of those who were killed because they had been loyal to Jesus. When I saw her, I was completely amazed.
