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

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!

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.

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

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

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said,“ I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.”

For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.

Then he said,“ Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”

May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.

So my people come pretending to be sincere and sit before you. They listen to your words, but they have no intention of doing what you say. Their mouths are full of lustful words, and their hearts seek only after money.

Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.

For they brag about their evil desires; they praise the greedy and curse the Lord.

But select from all the people some capable, honest men who fear God and hate bribes. Appoint them as leaders over groups of one thousand, one hundred, fifty, and ten.

And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.

And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them. I will take away their stony, stubborn heart and give them a tender, responsive heart,so they will obey my decrees and regulations. Then they will truly be my people, and I will be their God.

So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.

In their greed they will make up clever lies to get hold of your money. But God condemned them long ago, and their destruction will not be delayed.

Don’t let me drift toward evil or take part in acts of wickedness. Don’t let me share in the delicacies of those who do wrong.

“ What sorrow awaits you who build big houses with money gained dishonestly! You believe your wealth will buy security, putting your family’s nest beyond the reach of danger.

The Pharisees, who dearly loved their money, heard all this and scoffed at him.

Let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people.

They commit adultery with their eyes, and their desire for sin is never satisfied. They lure unstable people into sin, and they are well trained in greed. They live under God’s curse.

But people who long to be rich fall into temptation and are trapped by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruin and destruction.For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. And some people, craving money, have wandered from the true faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment.
