'Persecuted' in the Bible

Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

He has torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me. He has gnashed on me with his teeth. My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.

because he didn't remember to show kindness, but persecuted the poor and needy man, the broken in heart, to kill them.

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words.
