“The sons of Noah who went forth from the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan... Then he drank some of the wine and became drunk, and lay uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside... When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done to him, he said, ‘Canaan be cursed! He will be a servant of servants to his brothers.’ He also said, ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and let Canaan be his servant...’ ” — Genesis 9:18–27 (MEV)

“Be sober and watchful, because your adversary the devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him firmly in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called us to His eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will restore, support, strengthen, and establish you.” — 1 Peter 5:8–10 (MEV)
