Genesis 13:5-11

5 And Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents, 6 so that ^athe land could not support both of them dwelling together; for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together, 7 ^band there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. At that time ^cthe Canaanites and the Perizzites were dwelling in the land.

8 Then Abram said to Lot, ^d“Let there be no strife between you and me, and between your herdsmen and my herdsmen, ^efor we are kinsmen. ^{▼▼Hebrew we are men, brothers} 9 ^gIs not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw that the ^hJordan Valley was well watered everywhere like ⁱthe garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, in the direction of ^jZoar. (This was before the Lord ^kdestroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 So Lot chose for himself all the Jordan Valley, and Lot journeyed east. Thus they separated from each other.

Deuteronomy 6:10-12

10 “And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you—with great and good cities ^lthat you did not build, 11 and houses full of all good things that you did not fill, and cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant—and when you eat and are full, 12 ^mthen take care lest you forget the Lord, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

Deuteronomy 8:11-14

11 “Take care lest you forget the Lord your God by not keeping his commandments and his rules and his statutes, which I command you today, 12 ⁿlest, when you have eaten and are full and have built good houses and live in them, 13 and when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all that you have is multiplied, 14 ^othen your heart be lifted up, and you ^pforget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery,

Job 21:7-15

7 ^qWhy do the wicked live,
reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
8 Their ^roffspring are established in their presence,
and their descendants before their eyes.
9 Their houses are ^ssafe from fear,
and ^tno rod of God is upon them.
10 Their bull breeds without fail;
their cow calves and ^udoes not miscarry.
11 They send out their ^vlittle boys like a flock,
and their children dance.
12 They sing to ^wthe tambourine and ^xthe lyre
and rejoice to the sound of ^ythe pipe.
13 They ^zspend their days in prosperity,
and in ^aapeace they go down to ^abSheol.
14 They say to God, ^ac‘Depart from us!
We do not desire the knowledge of your ways.
15 ^adWhat is the Almighty, that we should serve him?
And what ^aeprofit do we get if we pray to him?’

Ezekiel 33:31

31 ^afAnd they come to you as people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear what you say but they will not do it; for ^agwith lustful talk in their mouths they act; their heart is set on their gain.

Matthew 13:22

22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but ^ahthe cares of ^aithe world and ^ajthe deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful.
