TSK · Proverbs 30:14

I broke the fangs of the wicked, and made him drop his prey from his teeth.

Rise up, LORD! Deliver me, my God! Yes, you will strike all my enemies on the jaw; you will break the teeth of the wicked.

“Because of the violence done to the oppressed, because of the painful cries of the needy, I will spring into action,” says the LORD.“I will provide the safety they so desperately desire.”

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.

Rise up above the sky, O God! May your splendor cover the whole earth!

Speaking recklessly is like the thrusts of a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing.

A poor person who oppresses the weak is like a driving rain without food.

Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” The Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies has spoken.

A deceiver’s methods are evil; he dreams up evil plans to ruin the poor with lies, even when the needy are in the right.

You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the choice animals, but you do not feed the sheep!

They trample on the dirt-covered heads of the poor; they push the destitute away. A man and his father go to the same girl; in this way they show disrespect for my moral purity.

Listen to this, you who trample the needy, and do away with the destitute in the land.

God Will Judge Judah’s Sinful Leaders I said,“Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the nation of Israel! You ought to know what is just,

You pierce the heads of his warriors with a spear. They storm forward to scatter us; they shout with joy as if they were plundering the poor with no opposition.

“But woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You keep locking people out of the kingdom of heaven! For you neither enter nor permit those trying to enter to go in.

They had hair like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth.
