====== Wicked people try to trap holy people with their own words ======

Also, events where the wicked argue with the righteous.  Apostate-holy attitude would be a good study as well (see 1 Nephi 2:13).

  * **Psalms 83:1-2**
  * **Jeremiah 1:7, 9, 17** - The Lord gives the prophet the words to speak.
  * **Jeremiah 2:23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 35** - Not solid examples, but this event can be expanded a bit to cover "how the wicked __justify__ themselves," which is wholly different than what the wicked say, in general.  //This event would basically be those who have fallen into apostasy declaring that they are righteous.//  A very interesting topic, indeed!  Mosiah 12:9-16 is an example.
  * **Luke 11:45-54** - Jesus reproves lawyers and they try to provoke him
  * **1 Nephi 2:11-14** - Lehi confounded his sons
  * **1 Nephi 3:28-4:4** - Laman and Lemuel hardening their hearts, an angel and Nephi confounding them, or trying to convince them.  This is a good example because we can see that while they don't believe, they do obey.
  * **1 Nephi 17:19-55** - Nephi's brethren contend and murmur against him
  * **[[Jacob 7]]** - Jacob and Sherem, another great example with dialogue
  * **Mosiah 12:17-37** - Abinadi and king Noah's priests.  This is perhaps the best example because we get a more detailed version of the dialogue.  Of note is that the priests try to use scriptures to cross him.
  * **Alma 32:23** - the Lord gives words to children to confound the wise.
  * **Helaman 5:17** - missionaries confound dissenters
  * **Helaman 9:13-18** - the five that saw that the chief judge was dead were cross-examined and confounded them with their testimony
  * **Helaman 9:19-20** - the judges try to get Nephi to admit to killing the chief judge
  * **D&C 71:7,10** - commandment, promise
  * **D&C 109:29** - ask for help in confounding people
