'Persecuted' in the Bible

And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, that persecuted thee.

He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

Because he remembered not to show kindness, But persecuted the poor and needy man, And the broken in heart, to slay them .

SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; But my heart standeth in awe of thy words.

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; He hath smitten my life down to the ground: He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
