'Works' in the Bible

Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.

Cursed are those who go deep to keep their designs secret from the Lord, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, Who sees us? and who has knowledge of our acts?

Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.

I will make clear what your righteousness is like and your works; you will have no profit in them.

Their twisted threads will not make clothing, and their works will give them nothing for covering themselves: their works are works of sin, and violent acts are in their hands.

As for those who keep themselves separate, and make themselves clean in the gardens, going after one in the middle, taking pig's flesh for food, and other disgusting things, such as the mouse: their works and their thoughts will come to an end together, says the Lord.
