'Intent' in the Bible

Why should the Egyptians say, ‘He brought them out with an evil intent to kill them in the mountains and wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from Your great anger and relent concerning this disaster planned for Your people.

“Don’t be enraged, my lord,” Aaron replied. “You yourself know that the people are intent on evil.

Likewise, if anyone in hatred pushes a person or throws an object at him with malicious intent and he dies,

“But if anyone suddenly pushes a person without hostility or throws any object at him without malicious intent

The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom all right?”The Cushite replied, “May what has become of the young man happen to the enemies of my lord the king and to all who rise up against you with evil intent.”

Discipline your son while there is hope;don’t be intent on killing him.

But this is not what he intends;this is not what he plans.It is his intent to destroyand to cut off many nations.

For the ruthless one will vanish,the scorner will disappear,and all those who lie in wait with evil intentwill be killed—

Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.

For our exhortation didn’t come from error or impurity or an intent to deceive.
