• Isaiah 59:1-9
  Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened,
  That it cannot save;
  Nor His ear heavy,
  That it cannot hear.
  But your iniquities have separated you from your God;
  And your sins have hidden His face from you,
  So that He will not hear.
  For your hands are defiled with blood,
  And your fingers with iniquity;
  Your lips have spoken lies,
  Your tongue has muttered perversity.
  No one calls for justice,
  Nor does any plead for truth.
  They trust in empty words and speak lies;
  They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.
  They hatch vipers' eggs and weave the spider's web;
  He who eats of their eggs dies,
  And from that which is crushed a viper breaks out.
  Their webs will not become garments,
  Nor will they cover themselves with their works;
  Their works are works of iniquity,
  And the act of violence is in their hands.
  Their feet run to evil,
  And they make haste to shed innocent blood;
  Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
  Wasting and destruction are in their paths.
  The way of peace they have not known,
  And there is no justice in their ways;
  They have made themselves crooked paths;
  Whoever takes that way shall not know peace. Therefore justice is far from us,
  Nor does righteousness overtake us;
  We look for light, but there is darkness!
  For brightness, but we walk in blackness!

• James 3:14-16
  But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.
   
• Matthew 24:22
  And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.
   
• Galatians 5:19-21
  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
   
• 1 Timothy 6:9-10
  But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
