Jeremiah 11:18-20
(18) Yahweh gave me knowledge of it, and I knew it. Then you showed me their doings. (19) But I was like a gentle lamb that is led to the slaughter. I didn’t know that they had devised plans 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 may be no more remembered.” (20) But, Yahweh of Armies, who judges righteously, who tests the heart and the mind, I will see your vengeance on them; for to you I have revealed my cause.
Psalms 7:2-3,9-12
(2) lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver. (3) Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands, (9) Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God. (10) My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. (11) God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day. (12) If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

(45) The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?” (46) The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!” (47) The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? (48) Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? (49) But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.” (50) Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, (51) “Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?” (52) They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” (53) Everyone went to his own house,
