SCRIPTURE

"Behold, they may gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall because of thee." — Isaiah 54:15 (ASV)

Whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

Behold, they shall surely gather together,

You will have enemies, even if you lead the most blameless life that can be lived; for the absolutely blameless One had many cruel enemies who hounded him to death.

But not by me:

God is not with them, for he is on your side.
