Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

Do Not Rob God
8 “Will a man rob God?
Yet you have robbed Me!
But you say,
‘In what way have we robbed You?’
(A)In tithes and offerings.
9 You are cursed with a curse,
For you have robbed Me,
Even this whole nation.

That there may be food in My house,
And try Me now in this,”

So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,
Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”

Isaiah 17:10-11
New King James Version
10 Because you have forgotten (A)the God of your salvation,
And have not been mindful of the Rock of your [a]stronghold,
Therefore you will plant pleasant plants
And set out foreign seedlings;
11 In the day you will make your plant to grow,
And in the morning you will make your seed to flourish;
But the harvest will be a heap of ruins
In the day of grief and desperate sorrow.

New King James Version
5 I have considered the days of old,
The years of ancient times.
6 I call to remembrance my song in the night;
I meditate within my heart,
And my spirit [a]makes diligent search.
7 Will the Lord cast off forever?
And will He be favorable no more?
8 Has His mercy ceased forever?
Has His (A)promise failed [b]forevermore?
9 Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah

But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.”

New King James Version
The Sin of Achan
10 So the Lord said to Joshua: “Get up! Why do you lie thus on your face? 11 Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. (A)For they have even taken some of the [a]accursed things, and have both stolen and (B)deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff. 12 (C)Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because (D)they have become doomed to destruction. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you. 13 Get up, (E)sanctify[b] the people, and say, (F)‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the Lord God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.” 14 In the morning therefore you shall be brought according to your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which (G)the Lord takes shall come according to families; and the family which the Lord takes shall come by households; and the household which the Lord takes shall come man by man. 15 (H)Then it shall be that he who is taken with the accursed thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has (I)transgressed[c] the covenant of the Lord, and because he (J)has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.’ ”
