To this Laban agreed; whereupon the ingenious and resourceful Jacob peeled certain wands and put them in the watering troughs, which caused spots to appear in the drinking troughs of the flocks, with the result that the picture thus made transmitted itself to the unborn young of the flocks, and in a short time Jacob had all. .
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness. Shylock was an evil who cited Scripture for his purpose. .
In The Merchant of Venice, Act III, Sc. 1.
SHYLOCK How now, Tubal, what news from Genoa? Hast thou found my daughter?.
TUBAL I often came where I did hear of her, but cannot find her.
SHYLOCK Why there, there, there, there! A diamond gone, cost me two thousand ducats in Frankfort! The curse never fell upon our nation till now; I never felt it till now. Two thousand ducats in that, and other precious, precious jewels. I would my daughter were dead at my foot, and the jewels in her ear; would she were hears'd at my foot, and the ducats in her coffin!.
According to Malachi, the God blamed the Israeli and said: "The curse never fell upon your nation till now.", because they seized the God's offering. When Shylock said this curse, we found that Shylock was cold-blooded. He treated everyone illiberally even his daughter. In his eyes, money is more important than his daughter.

Another example was found in The History of Henry V. In Act 3, Sc. 3, Shakespeare cited "Herod the Kind" to depict Henry's disposition. In Mattew, it described: "Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time while he had determined from the wise men." From this, we can know Herod was a bad king. His throne stood based upon murder and deceit.
