Thematic Bible: Lie in wait to commit


Thematic Bible



He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless; he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net. The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.

As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests band together; they murder on the way to Shechem; they commit villainy. Verse ConceptsPriests, Function In Ot TimesRoadsCorrupt PriestsLeaders Sinning
