7 And the sons of Israel went committing an act of unfaithfulness respecting the thing devoted to destruction in that Aʹchan*+ the son of Carʹmi, the son of Zabʹdi, the son of Zeʹrah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of the thing devoted to destruction.+ At this Jehovah’s anger grew hot against the sons of Israel.+

23 At that Naʹa·man said: “Go on, take two talents.” And he kept urging+ him and finally bound up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and gave them to two of his attendants, that they might carry them before him.

2 The treasures of the wicked one will be of no benefit,+ but righteousness is what will deliver from death.+

10 And they have not known how to do what is straightforward,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah, “those who are storing up violence+ and despoiling in their dwelling towers.”’

3 YOUR gold and silver are rusted away, and their rust will be as a witness against YOU and will eat YOUR fleshy parts. Something like fire+ is what YOU have stored up+ in the last days.*+
