Bible verse
Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
Psalm 35:11 · BSB
The verses around it, from Psalm 35.
7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
10 All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
11 Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
12 They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
