I need a few more verses like this in my arsenal. I don’t want people citing religious texts at me for how to live my life, Ive read like 5% of the/a christian bible and zero of the others. I don’t agree as a concept, might as well be quoting star wars at me, but if they insist on fighting with the book its nice to have ways to win with the book.

Try Psalm 137 on for size. 8 O daughter of Babylon, doomed to be destroyed, Blessed shall he be who repays you with what you have done to us! 9 Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rocks!
Hosea 1 is wild: 8 “And when [Gomer the harlot] weaned No Mercy (And I thought Tragedeigh was a bad name for a girl!), she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said,” Call his name Not my People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.
Also if fundies claim that the husband leads the wife like God leads the church, Hosea 2 gives a good idea of what “Godly husbandmanship” looks like.
And of course, Leviticus is full of all kinds of “fun” things to have as soundbites, like humiliation rituals for menstruation or” suspected" infidelity, when a rapist can marry his victim, and how badly you can beat a slave before you get into trouble for it.
