Psalm 52:1-2
New American Standard Bible 1995
Futility of Boastful Wickedness.
For the choir director. A [a]Maskil of David, [b]when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
52 Why do you (A)boast in evil, O mighty man?
The (B)lovingkindness of God endures all day long.
2 Your tongue devises (C)destruction,
Like a (D)sharp razor, (E)O worker of deceit.

Jeremiah 40:4-6
New American Standard Bible 1995
4 But now, behold, I am (A)freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If [a]you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will [b]look after you; but if [c]you would prefer not to come with me to Babylon, [d]never mind. Look, the (B)whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right for you to go.” 5 As [e]Jeremiah was still not going back, [f]he said, “Go on back then to (C)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has (D)appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people; or else go anywhere it seems right for you to go.” So the captain of the bodyguard gave him a (E)ration and a (F)gift and let him go. 6 Then Jeremiah went to (G)Mizpah to (H)Gedaliah the son of Ahikam and stayed with him among the people who were left in the land.

11 “Blessed are you when people (A)insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for (B)in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
