Isaiah 56:11

And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it.

I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel.

Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause.

Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
