Proverbs 11:24-26
There is that scattereth, and increaseth yet more; And there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth only to want.The liberal soul shall be made fat; And he that watereth shall be watered also himself.He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him; But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

Job 24:2-16
There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow’s ox for a pledge.They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness yieldeth them bread for their children.They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;So that they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day- time; They know not the light.
-
Micah 2:1-2
Woe to them that devise iniquity and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.And they covet fields, and seize them; and houses, and take them away: and they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Amos 2:6-7
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes—they that pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father go unto the same maiden, to profane my holy name:

Matthew 12:34-36
Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things: and the evil man out of his evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Acts 5:3-4
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

Micah 3:1-3
And I said, Hear, I pray you, ye heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: is it not for you to know justice?ye who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.

For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

1 Samuel 25 10-1 Samuel 25 11
And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now- a- days that break away every man from his master.Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give it unto men of whom I know not whence they are?
-
Job 22:5-9
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
