Thematic Bible: Treasures of wickedness
Thematic Bible
Wealth » Treasures of wickedness
The little bit that a godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men,
Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.
"I will not overlook, O sinful house, the dishonest gain you have hoarded away, or the smaller-than-standard measure I hate so much. I do not condone the use of rigged scales, or a bag of deceptive weights. The city's rich men think nothing of resorting to violence; her inhabitants lie, their tongues speak deceptive words.
