Thematic Bible: Treasures of wickedness
Thematic Bible
Wealth » Treasures of wickedness
Better is the little of the righteous [who seek the will of God]
Than the abundance (riches) of many wicked (godless).
Treasures of wickedness and ill-gotten gains do not profit,
But righteousness and moral integrity in daily life rescues from death.
Are there not still treasures gained by wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a scant measure [a false measure for grain] that is abominable and accursed? Can I be pure [Myself, and acquit the man] with wicked scales and with a bag of deceitful weights? For [the city's] rich men are full of violence; her inhabitants have spoken lies and their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
