Psalms 83:2

¹⁵The haters of the LORD would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

²⁴So when Pilate saw that nothing was being gained, but rather that a disturbance was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this righteous person. You see to it.”

¹²Ah, the uproar of many peoples who roar like the roaring of the seas; and the rushing of nations that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

¹⁹They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says the LORD, “to rescue you.”

You have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which don’t see, or hear, or know; and you have not glorified the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways.
