Psalm 37:14

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

In context

12 The wicked scheme against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them,

13 but the Lord laughs, seeing that their day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn the sword and bent the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.

15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

16 Better is the little of the righteous than the abundance of many who are wicked.
