Charles Patrick writes that Molech, as described in the Old Testament, was an “Ammonite god who required propitiatory child sacrifice. A couple sacrificed their firstborn by burning the child on a metal idol of Molech, believing that Molech would ensure financial prosperity for the family and future children.”¹ By offering up their children to be burned on the golden statue, the Canaanites believed Molech would cause them and their future children to prosper.
Today’s Molech is the abortion industry, sacrificing babies to the idol of financial greed. We are no better than the ancient Canaanites. Instead of sacrificing our children to the god Molech in exchange for future prosperity, we sacrifice our children in the name of convenience.
God hates this wickedness. And He has something to say about it.
This post is a selection of scriptures intended to be prayed and proclaimed out loud publicly, against the wickedness of abortion. While God expects us to use every lawful means of ending abortion, the Christian must also remember that “For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds” (2 Corinthians 10:4). God’s Word is powerful. We must be armed with it and we must be ready to use it against God’s enemies— “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
Included also is a selection of scriptures intended to embolden you, dear Christian, in the Lord as you confront wickedness. For if God is with us, who can be against us?

Against the Shedding of Innocent Blood
Proverbs 6:16‒19 There are six things which the LORD hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.
Isaiah 59:2‒ 4, 7‒8
For your hands are defiled with blood,
and your fingers with iniquity.
Your lips have spoken lies.
Your tongue mutters wickedness.
No one sues in righteousness,
and no one pleads in truth.
They trust in vanity,
and speak lies.
They conceive mischief,
and give birth to iniquity.
Their feet run to evil,
and they hurry to shed innocent blood.
Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity.
Desolation and destruction are in their paths.
They do not know the way of peace;
and there is no justice in their ways.
They have made crooked paths for themselves;
whoever goes in them does not know peace.
Genesis 4:10‒12 The LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground. Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. . . you will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”
Deuteronomy 27:24 ‘Cursed be anyone who strikes down his neighbor in secret.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Deuteronomy 27:25 ‘Cursed be anyone who takes a bribe to shed innocent blood.’ And all the people shall say, ‘Amen.’
Deuteronomy 24:16 Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.
Jeremiah 22:3 Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.
Exodus 23:7 Keep far from a false charge, and do not kill the innocent and righteous, for I will not acquit the wicked.
Jeremiah 22:17 But you have eyes and heart only for your dishonest gain, for shedding innocent blood, and for practicing oppression and violence.
Psalm 106:36‒39
They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
Thus they became unclean by their acts,
and played the whore in their deeds.
Against Molech
Against the Wicked
you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak lies;
the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man. . . .
Make then bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands;
to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless.
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.
Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.
They have now surrounded our steps;
they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.
He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.
Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword.
No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb; t hey go astray from birth, speaking lies.
They have venom like the venom of a serpent, like the deaf adder that stops its ear,
so that it does not hear the voice of charmers or of the cunning enchanter.
O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord!
Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted.
Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime, like the stillborn child who never sees the sun.
Sooner than your pots can feel the heat of thorns, whether green or ablaze, may he sweep them away!
The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked.
Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”
let them be trapped in their pride.
For the cursing and lies that they utter,
consume them in wrath;
consume them till they are no more,
that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth
and when they are at peace, let it become a trap.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cannot see,
and make their loins tremble continually.
Pour out your indignation upon them,
and let your burning anger overtake them.
May their camp be a desolation;
let no one dwell in their tents.
like chaff before the wind.
As fire consumes the forest, as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
so may you pursue them with your tempest and terrify them with your hurricane!
Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O Lord.
Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace, that they may know that you alone,
whose name is the Lord, are the Most High over all the earth.
Rise up, O Judge of the earth; Render punishment to the proud.
LORD, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
They break in pieces Your people, O LORD,
And afflict Your heritage.
They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
Yet they say, "The LORD does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob understand."
And you fools, when will you be wise?
He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
He who instructs the nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
The LORD knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.
And teach out of Your law, That You may give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
For the LORD will not cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the LORD had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
If I say, "My foot slips,"
Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.
In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.
Shall the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn innocent blood.
But the LORD has been my defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall destroy them in their own wickedness;
The LORD our God shall wipe them out.
Pursue Justice
Deuteronomy 16:20 Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 32:4 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord; ascribe greatness to our God! The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he.
Psalms 33:5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of His unfailing love.
Isaiah 1:16–18 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
Amos 5:15 Hate evil, love good, And establish justice in the gate! Perhaps the LORD God of hosts may be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
Matthew 12:18 Here is my Servant whom I have chosen, the One I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
Destroy Idols
Be of Good Courage
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.
1 Samuel 14:6 Then Jonathan said to the young man who bore his armor, “Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that the Lord will work for us. For nothing restrains the Lord from saving by many or by few.”
Psalm 27:1–3, 14
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh,
my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear;
though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!
Psalm 31:24 Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD.
Psalm 60:11–12 Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Luke 18:1b Men ought always to pray and not lose heart.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Yahweh
Appendix: Praying Psalms of Destruction
The following imprecatory prayers were written by Pastor Stephen Altrogge. I encourage you to pray along with him, and perhaps practice writing your own.
Psalm 10:15, “Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none.”
- Rise up, O Lord. Break the arm of Planned Parenthood. Reduce their strength to nothing. Obliterate their reach and protect the unborn from their grasp. Call the men and women to give an account for their wicked deeds until their wickedness is no more.
Psalm 17:13, “Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword…”
- Draw your sword, O Lord, and raise it against the men and women who are executing children. Confront them with the furious anger you feel over the death of these innocent children. Subdue them by your power. Deliver the children from the wicked men and women who are seeking to kill them.
Psalm 58:6–8, “O God, break the teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O Lord! Let them vanish like water that runs away; when he aims his arrows, let them be blunted. Let them be like the snail that dissolves into slime…”
- Lord, we pray that you would tear out the fangs of Planned Parenthood. Emasculate their power. Break the teeth they use to consume the children. Let their arrows of death be dull and useless. Dissolve them financially, and cause them to vanish organizationally. Bring them to utter nothingness so that we will look back and say, “Remember what God did?”
Psalm 59:13, “… consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth.”
- Arise, Lord, and display your powerful, evil-consuming wrath. Bring Planned Parenthood to such utter dissolution that there is no doubt that you are God and that you rule over all things. Let there be no doubt that you are king, and you will bring your good plans to pass.
Psalm 69:25–26, “May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents. For they persecute him whom you have struck down, and they recount the pain of those you have wounded.”
- Lord, let the buildings of Planned Parenthood be utterly desolated. May the abortion clinics be empty shells, a reminder of what once was and what you have wrought. Bring famine and drought upon all abortion clinics so that they can no longer survive.
Psalm 83:16, “Fill their faces with shame, that they may seek your name, O Lord.”
- We pray that the men and women of Planned Parenthood would experience a deep, searing shame for their atrocities IN ORDER that they might seek your face. As you dissolve Planned Parenthood, drive the employees to the cross so that they might embrace the forgiveness you offer.
