And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.

And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones.

They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

For which cause both thou and all thy company are gathered together against the LORD: and what is Aaron, that ye murmur against him?

For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.

He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
