Deliver Us From Evil
"A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote (Heb. yaw-al'): a sword is upon her mighty men; and they shall be dismayed" (Jeremiah 50:36).
"A rich person will exploit you if you can be of use to him, but if you are in need he will abandon you" (Sirach 13:4 [NRSV]).
"When the rich speak they have many supporters, though what they say is repugnant, it wins approval"(Sirach 13:22a [NABRE]).
Do you pronounce justice? Do you judge fairly? No you freely engage in crime...liars from the womb, they have gone astray, their venom is like the venom of a snake. (See Psalm 58 [NABRE]).
"Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting" (Matthew 17:21 [KJV]).
