Scheme

When our enemies heard that we were aware of their scheme and that God had frustrated it, each of us returned to his own work on the wall.

Then King Xerxes spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”

And once again, Esther addressed the king. She fell at his feet weeping and begged him to revoke the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite, which he had devised against the Jews.

But when it came before the king, he commanded by letter that the wicked scheme which Haman had devised against the Jews should come back upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

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

With cunning they scheme against Your people and conspire against those You cherish,

Guard me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked. Keep me safe from men of violence who scheme to make me stumble.

A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.
