'Devise' in the Bible

Though they plot evil against you and devise schemes, they will not succeed.

For they do not speak peace; they devise clever lies against the peaceful people of the land.

They devise wicked schemes, saying, "We have completed our plans, hiding them deep in our hearts."

They devise evil against me instead of good, and hatred in place of my love.

To devise folly is sin, and people detest a scoffer.

Furthermore, the crimes of bad people are evil; and they devise wicked schemes, destroying the poor with lying words, even when needy people plead a just cause.

He'll encourage himself against the southern king by raising a large army. As a result, the southern king will mobilize for war with a large and powerful army, but he won't succeed because they will devise elaborate schemes against him.
