'Persecuted' in the Bible

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

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

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

He that smote the peoples in wrath with a relentless stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted unsparingly.
