'Mischief' in the Bible

“God has not observed wickedness in Jacob [for he is forgiven],Nor has He seen trouble in Israel.The Lord their God is with Israel,And the shout of their King is among the people.

So Rezon was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, along with the evil that Hadad inflicted. Rezon hated Israel and reigned over Aram (Syria).

“As I have seen, those who plow wickednessAnd those who sow trouble and harm harvest it.

“They conceive mischief and bring forth wickedness,And their inmost soul prepares deceit and fraud.”

Behold, the [wicked and irreverent] man is pregnant with sin,And he conceives mischief and gives birth to lies.

His mischief will return on his own head,And his violence will come down on the top of his head [like loose dirt].

His mouth is full of curses and deceit (fraud) and oppression;Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness [injustice and sin].

Do not drag me away with the wickedAnd with those who do evil,Who speak peace with their neighbors,While malice and mischief are in their hearts.

Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

Day and night they go around her walls;Wickedness and mischief are in her midst.

“Those who surround me raise their heads;May the mischief of their own lips come upon them.

A worthless man devises and digs up evil,And the words on his lips are like a scorching fire.

Whoever digs a pit [for another man’s feet] will fall into it,And he who rolls a stone [up a hill to do mischief], it will come back on him.

No one sues righteously [but for the sake of doing injury to others—to take some undue advantage], and no one pleads [his case] in truth; [but rather]They trust in empty arguments and speak lies;They conceive trouble and bring forth injustice.

And as for both of these kings, their hearts will be set on doing evil; they will speak lies over the same table, but it will not succeed, for the end is yet to come at the appointed time.
