The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just. Isaiah 32:7 (BSB)
But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God,
and your sins have hidden His face from you,
so that He does not hear.
Isaiah 59:2 (BSB)
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. James 4:4 (NIV)
The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him;
the cords of his sin entangle him.
Proverbs 5:22 (BSB)
The heavens will expose his iniquity,
and the earth will rise up against him.
Job 20:27 (BSB)
For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies,
but against evil rulers and authorities
of the unseen world,
against mighty powers in this dark world,
and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12 (NLT)
