Profit » What is not profitable
It is the spirit that makes alive. The flesh benefits nothing. The sayings that I speak to you are spirit, are life.
What profits the graven image, that the maker of it has engraved it, the molten image, even the teacher of lies, that he who fashions its form trusts in it, to make dumb idols? Woe to him who says to the wood, Awake, to the dumb stone, Arise! Shall this teach? Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death.
Has a nation changed [its] gods, which yet are no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
For what does it profit a men, if he should gain the whole world, and lose his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
For what is a man benefited, having gained the whole world, but having lost or having forfeited himself?
Those who fashion a graven image are all of them vanity. And the things that they delight in shall not profit. And their own witnesses see not, nor know, that they may be put to shame. Who has fashioned a god, or molded an image that is profitable for nothing?
But draw near here, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot. Against whom do ye sport yourselves, against whom ye make a wide mouth, and put out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, ye who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree, who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks? read more.
Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is thy portion. They, they are thy lot, even to them thou have poured a drink-offering; thou have offered an oblation. Shall I be appeased for these things? Upon a high and lofty mountain thou have set thy bed. Thou also went up there to offer sacrifice. And behind the doors and the posts thou have set up thy memorial. For thou have uncovered [thyself] to another than me, and have gone up. Thou have enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them. Thou loved their bed where th And thou went to the king with oil, and increased thy perfumes, and sent thine ambassadors far off, and debased thyself even to Sheol. Thou were wearied with the length of thy way, yet thou did not say, It is in vain. Thou found a quickening of thy strength, therefore thou were not faint. And of whom have thou been afraid and in fear, that thou lie, and have not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Have I not held my peace even of long time, and thou do not fear me? I will declare thy righteousness. And as for thy works, they shall not profit thee.

O LORD, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to thee the nations shall come from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, [even] vanity and things in whic Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?
For what will it profit a man if he should gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Moreover, thou shall say to the sons of Israel, Whoever he is of the sons of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, who gives of his seed to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone h
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do that which was right in the eyes of LORD his God, like David his father. But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. Yes, and made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom LORD cast out from before the sons of Israel.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
