Jude 1:14-25
    Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones ¹⁵ to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." ¹⁶ These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
    ¹⁷ But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. ¹⁸ They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." ¹⁹ These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.
    ²⁰ But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. ²¹ Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
    ²² Be merciful to those who doubt; ²³ snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
    ²⁴ To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- ²⁵ to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

Jeremiah 9:23-24
    This is what the Lord says:

    "Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
        or the strong man boast of his strength
        or the rich man boast of his riches,
    ²⁴ but let him who boasts boast about this:
        that he understands and knows me,
    that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness,
        justice and righteousness on earth,
        for in these I delight,"

declares the Lord.
 

Psalm 139:17-24
    How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
        How vast is the sum of them!
    ¹⁸ Were I to count them,
        they would outnumber the grains of sand.
    When I awake,
        I am still with you.
 
    ¹⁹ If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
        Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
    ²⁰ They speak of you with evil intent;
        your adversaries misuse your name.
    ²¹ Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord,
        and abhor those who rise up against you?
    ²² I have nothing but hatred for them;
        I count them my enemies.
 
    ²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart;
        test me and know my anxious thoughts.
    ²⁴ See if there is any offensive way in me,
        and lead me in the way everlasting.
