2 Kings 5:20-27

20 aGehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. bAs the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 21So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, c“Is all well?” 22And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from dthe hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and etwo changes of clothing.’” 23And Naaman said, f“Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence ga leper, like snow.

Psalms 50:16-20

16 But to the wicked God says:
What right have you to recite my statutes
or take my covenant on your lips?
17 hFor you hate discipline,
iand you cast my words behind you.
18If you see a thief, jyou are pleased with him,
kand you keep company with adulterers.
19 “You give your mouth free rein for evil,
land your tongue frames deceit.
20You sit and speak against your brother;
you slander your own mother’s son.

Matthew 21:13

13He said to them, “It is written, mMy house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but nyou make it a den of robbers.”

John 10:8-10

8All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9I am the door. If anyone enters by me, ohe will be saved and will go in and out and pfind pasture. 10The thief comes only to steal and qkill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

1 Corinthians 6:10
