'Devise Evil' in the Bible
Let those be ashamed and dishonored who seek my life;Let those be turned back and humiliated who devise evil against me.
Who devise evil things in their hearts;They continually stir up wars.
Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,But counselors of peace have joy.
Will they not go astray who devise evil?But kindness and truth will be to those who devise good.
Although I trained and strengthened their arms,Yet they devise evil against Me.
and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’
Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,’ declares the Lord.”
