One man

for when Jezebel destroyed the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water.)

He said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.”

I hate him

When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is this you, you troubler of Israel?”

He said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.’”

Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, O my enemy?” And he answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the Lord.

Evil shall slay the wicked,

And those who hate the righteous will be condemned.

Because of the voice of the enemy,
Because of the pressure of the wicked;
For they bring down trouble upon me
And in anger they bear a grudge against me.

Deliver me from the mire and do not let me sink;
May I be delivered from my foes and from the

deep waters.

They hate him who reproves in the gate,
And they abhor him who speaks with integrity.

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”

Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

Good

Who say to the seers, “You must not see visions”;
And to the prophets, “You must not prophesy to us what is right,

Speak to us pleasant words,

Prophesy illusions.

Then the officials said to the king, “Now let this man be put to death, inasmuch as he is

discouraging the men of war who are left in this city and all the people, by speaking such words to them; for this man is not seeking the well-being of this people but rather their harm.”

Me

But Micaiah said, “As the Lord lives, what my God says, that I will speak.”

When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” And he answered, “What peace, so long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?”

“Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

Do not My words do good
To the one walking uprightly?
