Zechariah 5:4
New King James Version
4 “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;
“It shall enter the house of the (A)thief
And the house of (B)the one who swears falsely by My name.
It shall remain in the midst of his house
And consume (C)it, with its timber and stones.”
Habakkuk 2:9-11
New King James Version
9 “Woe to him who covets evil gain for his house,
That he may (A)set his nest on high,
That he may be delivered from the [a]power of disaster!
10 You give shameful counsel to your house,
Cutting off many peoples,
And sin against your soul.
11 For the stone will cry out from the wall,
And the beam from the timbers will answer it.

New King James Version
34 (A)“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and (B)I put the [a]leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession, 35 and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is (C)some plague in the house,’ 36 then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house. 37 And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be [b]deep in the wall, 38 then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and [c]shut up the house seven days. 39 And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house, 40 then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city. 41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city. 42 Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.
43 “Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered, 44 then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is (D)an active leprosy in the house. It is unclean. 45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.
