'Adversaries' in the Bible

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

Therefore thou deliveredst them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them: and in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou heardest from heaven; and according to thy manifold mercies thou gavest them saviours who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.
