Why wasn’t the money given to poor people? It was worth a year’s pay.”He didn’t say this because he cared about the poor. He said it because he was a thief. Judas was in charge of the money bag.

David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking with the men. So Eliab became very angry with him. Eliab asked David,“ Why have you come down here? Who is taking care of those few sheep in the desert for you? I know how proud you are. I know how evil your heart is.

You say,‘ What a heavy load our work is!’ And you turn up your nose. You act as if you hate working for me,” says the Lord who rules over all.“ You bring animals that have been hurt. Or you bring disabled or sick animals. Then you dare to offer them to me as sacrifices! Should I accept them from you?” says the Lord.

“ You sacrifice‘ unclean’ food on my altar.“ But you ask,‘ How have we made you“ unclean”?’“ You do it by looking down on my altar.You sacrifice blind animals to me. Isn’t that wrong? You sacrifice disabled or sick animals. Isn’t that wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you?” says the Lord who rules over all.“ Now plead with God to be gracious to us! But as long as you give offerings like those, how can he accept you?” says the Lord.“ You might as well shut the temple doors! Then you would not light useless fires on my altar. I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord.“ I will not accept any of the offerings you bring.
