If my step has turned aside from the way, or my heart walked after my eyes, or if any blemish has clung to my hands,

Extend my heart to Your Testimonies, and not to unjust gain.

Turn away my eyes from looking after vanity, and revive me in Your Way.

He went around among the lions, and became a young lion; he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.

So they come to you as people do, they sit before you as My people, and they hear your words, but they do not do them; for with their mouth they act out love, but their hearts go after their unjust gain.

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, sexual perversions, murders,

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lusts and enticed.

Then, when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.

having eyes full of adultery and that cannot cease from sin, enticing unstable souls; having a heart exercised in covetousness; accursed children.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For all that is in the world; the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life; is not of the Father but is of the world.

Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, who fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place these over them as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses those who plunder, whom Jehovah has spurned.

And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.

So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

No servant is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. It is not possible to serve God and mammon.

Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.

being filled with every unrighteousness, sexual perversion, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, depravity; whisperers,

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

But sexual perversion and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;

For this you know, that no prostitute, unclean person, nor covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

But those who purpose to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which plunge people into ruin and destruction.

For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

By covetousness they will exploit you with well-turned words; whose judgment of old is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Have you murdered and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.

and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, which Jehovah was not willing to forgive.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, the abominations which he had done, and what was found against him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. And Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place.

He went around among the lions, and became a young lion; he learned to catch prey; he devoured men.

Her rulers within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, that do not leave the bones till the morning.
