2 Samuel 18:11-13

11Joab said to the man who told him, “What, you saw him! Why then did you not strike him there to the ground? I would have been glad to give you ten pieces of silver and a belt.” 12But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king’s son, for ain our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.’ 13On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life
Or at the risk of my life
(and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”

2 Kings 5:20-27

20 cGehazi, 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. dAs 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, e“Is all well?” 22And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from fthe hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and gtwo changes of clothing.’” 23And Naaman said, h“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 ia leper, like snow.

Proverbs 15:27

Jeremiah 22:17-19

17But you have eyes and heart
only for your dishonest gain,
pfor shedding innocent blood,
and for practicing oppression and violence.”
18Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:

q“They shall not lament for him, saying,
rAh, my brother!’ or ‘Ah, sister!’
They shall not lament for him, saying,
sAh, lord!’ or ‘Ah, his majesty!’
19With the burial of a donkey the shall be buried,
dragged and dumped beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”

Micah 2:1-3

Woe to the Oppressors

1 uWoe to those who devise wickedness
and work evil von their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
because it is in the power of their hand.
2They covet fields and wseize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
3Therefore thus says the Lord:
behold, against xthis family I am devising disaster,
The same Hebrew word can mean evil or  disaster, depending on the context

from which you cannot remove your necks,
and you zshall not walk haughtily,
aafor it will be a time of disaster.
