Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

The arrogant have forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will observe Your precepts.

Toll

We also inform you that it is not allowed to impose tax, tribute or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim or servants of this house of God.

As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He *said to him, “Follow Me!” And he got up and followed Him.

He *said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?”

For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of God, devoting themselves to this very thing.
