Numbers 22:17

17 cfor I will surely do you great honor, and whatever you say to me I will do. dCome, curse this people for me.’”

Joshua 7:21-26

21when I saw among the spoil a beautiful cloak from Shinar, and 200 shekels of silver, and a bar of gold weighing 50 shekels,
A  shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams
then I coveted them and took them. And see, they are hidden in the earth inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”

22So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent with the silver underneath. 23And they took them out of the tent and brought them to Joshua and to all the people of Israel. And they laid them down before the Lord. 24And Joshua and all Israel with him took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver and the cloak and the bar of gold, and his sons and daughters and his oxen and donkeys and sheep and his tent and all that he had. And they brought them up to the fValley of Achor. 25And Joshua said, “Why did you gbring trouble on us? The Lord brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel hstoned him with stones. iThey burned them with fire and stoned them with stones. 26And they raised over him ja great heap of stones that remains to this day. Then kthe Lord turned from his burning anger. Therefore, to this day the name of that place is called the Valley of Achor.
 Achor means trouble


2 Kings 5:20-27

20 mGehazi, 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. nAs 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, o“Is all well?” 22And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from pthe hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and qtwo changes of clothing.’” 23And Naaman said, r“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 sa leper, like snow.

Job 20:12-15

12 Though evil is sweet in his mouth,
though he hides it tunder his tongue,
13though he is loath to let it go
and holds it in his mouth,
14yet his food is turned in his stomach;
it is the venom of ucobras within him.
15He swallows down riches and vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.

Matthew 25:15

15To one he gave five vtalents,
A  talent was a monetary unit worth about twenty years’ wages for a laborer
to another two, to another one, xto each according to his ability. Then he ywent away.
