Jeremiah 49:16
As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill, though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.

Zechariah 5:1-4
Then again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a flying scroll.He said to me,“ What do you see?” I answered,“ I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.”Then he said to me,“ This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.I will cause it to go out,” says Yahweh of Armies,“ and it will enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him who swears falsely by my name; and it will remain in the middle of his house, and will destroy it with its timber and its stones.”

2 Kings 5 20-2 Kings 5 27
But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said,“ Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said,“ Is all well?”He said,“ All is well. My master has sent me, saying,‘ Behold, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.’”Naaman said,“ Be pleased to take two talents.” He urged him, and bound 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 him.When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him,“ Where did you come from, Gehazi?” He said,“ Your servant went nowhere.”He said to him,“ Didn’t my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your offspring forever.” He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.

Joshua 7:21-26
When I saw among the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver under it.”So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent. Behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.They took them from the middle of the tent, and brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel. They laid them down before Yahweh.Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the robe, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his cattle, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had; and they brought them up to the valley of Achor.Joshua said,“ Why have you troubled us? Yahweh will trouble you today.” All Israel stoned him with stones, and they burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.They raised over him a great heap of stones that remains to this day. Yahweh turned from the fierceness of his anger. Therefore the name of that place was called“ The valley of Achor” to this day.

Psalms 10:3-6
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.He says in his heart,“ I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
-
Psalms 49:11
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

Genesis 19:26-38
But Lot’s wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.Abraham went up early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Yahweh.He looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and saw that the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace.When God destroyed the cities of the plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the middle of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.Lot went up out of Zoar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he was afraid to live in Zoar. He lived in a cave with his two daughters.The firstborn said to the younger,“ Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in to us in the way of all the earth.Come, let’s make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”They made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she arose.It came to pass on the next day, that the firstborn said to the younger,“ Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let’s make him drink wine again tonight. You go in, and lie with him, that we may preserve our father’s family line.”They made their father drink wine that night also. The younger went and lay with him. He didn’t know when she lay down, nor when she got up.Thus both of Lot’s daughters were with child by their father.The firstborn bore a son, and named him Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day.The younger also bore a son, and called his name Ben Ammi. He is the father of the children of Ammon to this day.

Deuteronomy 7:25-26
You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Yahweh your God.You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.

Isaiah 47:7-9
You said,‘ I will be a princess forever,’ so that you didn’t lay these things to your heart, nor did you remember the results.“ Now therefore hear this, you who are given to pleasures, who sit securely, who say in your heart,‘ I am, and there is no one else besides me. I won’t sit as a widow, neither will I know the loss of children.’But these two things will come to you in a moment in one day, the loss of children and widowhood. They will come on you in their full measure, in the multitude of your sorceries, and the great abundance of your enchantments.

Genesis 13:10-13
Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well- watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves from one other.Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

Psalms 52:7
“ Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

Acts 1:17-25
For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headlong, his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called‘ Akeldama,’ that is,‘ The field of blood.’For it is written in the book of Psalms,‘ Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and,‘ Let another take his office.’“ Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.They prayed and said,“ You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosento take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

Jude 1:11
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in Korah’s rebellion.

1 Kings 21 19-1 Kings 21 24
You shall speak to him, saying,‘ Yahweh says,“ Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying,‘ Yahweh says,“ In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”Ahab said to Elijah,“ Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered,“ I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in Yahweh’s sight.Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”Yahweh also spoke of Jezebel, saying,“ The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”

1 Kings 21 2-1 Kings 21 4
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying,“ Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”Naboth said to Ahab,“ May Yahweh forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said,“ I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

Isaiah 28:15
“ Because you have said,‘ We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”

Proverbs 18:11-12
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, like an unscalable wall in his own imagination.Before destruction the heart of man is proud, but before honor is humility.

Jeremiah 22:13-19
“ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor’s service without wages, and doesn’t give him his hire;who says,‘ I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,’ and cuts out windows for himself; with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.“ Should you reign, because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn’t your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so it was well, then. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence.”Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah:“ They won’t lament for him, saying,‘ Ah my brother!’ or,‘ Ah sister!’ They won’t lament for him, saying‘ Ah lord!’ or,‘ Ah his glory!’He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem.”

Job 20:19-28
For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor. He has violently taken away a house, and he will not build it up.“ Because he knew no quietness within him, he will not save anything of that in which he delights.There was nothing left that he didn’t devour, therefore his prosperity will not endure.In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress will overtake him. The hand of everyone who is in misery will come on him.When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.He will flee from the iron weapon. The bronze arrow will strike him through.He draws it out, and it comes out of his body. Yes, the glittering point comes out of his liver. Terrors are on him.All darkness is laid up for his treasures. An unfanned fire will devour him. It will consume that which is left in his tent.The heavens will reveal his iniquity. The earth will rise up against him.The increase of his house will depart. They will rush away in the day of his wrath.

Obadiah 1:4
Though you mount on high as the eagle, and though your nest is set among the stars, I will bring you down from there,” says Yahweh.
