And Naaman said, Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bare them before him.

And when he came to the tower, he took them from their hand, and bestowed them in the house: and he let the men go, and they departed.

Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.

Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:

Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

Divers weights, and divers measures, both of them are alike abomination to the LORD.

Divers weights are an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance is not good.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.
