Give me a desire for your rules, rather than for wealth gained unjustly.

求你使我的心趋向你的法度，不趋向非义之财。

求你使我的心趋向你的法度，不趋向不义之财。

求你使我的心趋向你的法度，不趋向不义之财。

求你使我的心爱慕你的法度而非不义之财。

求你使我的心倾向你的法度，不倾向不义之财。

求你使我的心倾向你的法度，而不向着私利。

求你使我的心趨向你的法度，不趨向非義之財。

求你使我的心趨向你的法度，不趨向不義之財。

求你使我的心趨向你的法度，不趨向不義之財。

求你使我的心愛慕你的法度而非不義之財。

求你使我的心傾向你的法度，不傾向不義之財。

求你使我的心傾向於你的法度，不傾向於不義之財。

求你使我的心傾向你的法度，而不向著私利。

其轉我心、向爾法度、不向非義之財兮、

使我中心、慕爾法度、不貪貨財兮、

使我心趨向主之法度、不趨向貨財、

務使小子。景慕法度。內有足樂。奚羨財富。

Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain.

Make me want to follow your covenant laws instead of wanting to gain things only for myself.

Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to selfish gain!

Give me an eagerness for your laws rather than a love for money!

Turn my heart to your decrees and not to dishonest profit.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to dishonest gain.

Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, And not to covetousness.

Turn my heart to Your decrees and not to material gain.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Turn my heart toward your statutes, not toward selfish gain.

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said,“ I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”

For from within, out of the human heart, come evil ideas, sexual immorality, theft, murder,adultery, greed, evil, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, pride, and folly.

Then he said to them,“ Watch out and guard yourself from all types of greed, because one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

May he make us submissive, so we can follow all his instructions and obey the commandments, rules, and regulations he commanded our ancestors.

They come to you in crowds, and they sit in front of you as my people. They hear your words, but do not obey them. For they talk lustfully, and their heart is set on their own advantage.

Create for me a pure heart, O God! Renew a resolute spirit within me!

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the LORD.

But you choose from the people capable men, God-fearing, men of truth, those who hate bribes, and put them over the people as rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

I will give them a single-minded purpose to live in a way that always shows respect for me. They will want to do that for their own good and the good of the children who descend from them.

I will give them one heart and I will put a new spirit within them; I will remove the hearts of stone from their bodies and I will give them tender hearts,so that they may follow my statutes and observe my regulations and carry them out. Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.

So put to deat h whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.

And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.

Do not let me have evil desires, or participate in sinful activities with men who behave wickedly. I will not eat their delicacies.

The one who builds his house by unjust gain is as good as dead. He does this so he can build his nest way up high and escape the clutches of disaster.

The Pharisees( who loved money) heard all this and ridiculed him.

But among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind, or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.

Their eyes, full of adultery, never stop sinning; they entice unstable people. They have trained their hearts for greed, these cursed children!

Those who long to be rich, however, stumble into temptation and a trap and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is the root of all evils. Some people in reaching for it have strayed from the faith and stabbed themselves with many pains.

Command those who are rich in this world’s goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment.
