2Ti 3:1 Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand.
2Ti 3:2 For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Ti 3:3 without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good,
2Ti 3:4 traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
2Ti 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.
Psa 35:20 For they do not speak peace; but they think deceitful things against the quiet ones of the earth.
Psa 35:21 And they widen their mouths against me; they say, Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen.
While, in my opinion, the Good News Bible is far from the best overall translation, I think it has a very good interpretation of the two verses I used from Psalms:
Psa 35:20 They do not speak in a friendly way; instead they invent all kinds of lies about peace-loving people.
Psa 35:21 They accuse me, shouting, "We saw what you did!"
While this kind of situation has always existed, it seems to be escalating on all fronts both public and private. My wife and I have even been the victims of such behavior. Thankfully, it was disproven.
