'Pays' in the Bible

“For He pays a man according to his work,And makes him find it according to his way.

An evildoer listens to wicked lips;A liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

If a ruler pays attention to falsehood,All his ministers become wicked.

if a wicked man restores a pledge, pays back what he has taken by robbery, walks by the statutes which ensure life without committing iniquity, he shall surely live; he shall not die.

Then they answered and spoke before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day.”
