Psalm 82:2-4 (ESV) : Rescue the Weak and Needy
2 “How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
Psalm 5:9-10 (HCSB) : The Refuge of the Righteous
9 For there is nothing reliable in what they say;[b]
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.
10 Punish them, God;
let them fall by their own schemes.
Drive them out because of their many crimes,
for they rebel against You.
The news and the articles are appearing and with them our words will be heard. Randomly targeting individuals on dating and hookup sites is NOT the way to find predators. Let’s stop these unjust sting operations. We do not need our own government arresting citizens via manipulation and con games.
