Thematic Bible: Examples of moral and spiritual bankruptcy


Thematic Bible



Therefore the kingdom of Heaven has been compared to a certain king who desired to make an accounting with his servants. And when he had begun to count, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. But as he had nothing to pay, his lord commanded that he, and his wife and children, and all that he had, be sold, and payment be made.






So I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they do not know the way of Jehovah, nor the judgment of their God.


And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land. And he began to be in want.
