Psalm 10:9

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

As for the deeds of men, by the word of Your lips I have kept from the paths of the violent.

He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

They open wide their mouth at me, As a lion that tears and roars.

They have set a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They dug a pit before me; They themselves have fallen into the midst of it. Selah.

Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the abode of the righteous; Do not destroy his resting place;

Yahweh enters into judgment with the elders of His people and His princes, “It is you who have consumed the vineyard; The plunder robbed of the afflicted is in your houses.

‘For wicked men are found among My people; They watch like fowlers lying in wait; They set a trap; They catch men.

“All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have counseled together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who seeks to make a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions’ den.

The Chaldeans bring all of them up with a hook, Drag them away with their net, And gather them together in their fishing net. Therefore they are glad and rejoice.
