Psalm 50:8–12

Not for your sacrifices ado I rebuke you;

your burnt offerings are continually before me.

I will not accept a bull from your house

or goats from your folds.

10  For every beast of the forest is mine,

the cattle on a thousand hills.

11  bI know all the birds of the hills,

and all that moves in the field is mine.

12  If I were hungry, I would not tell you,

cfor the world and its fullness are mine.


1 Chronicles 29:14

14 But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.


1 Chronicles 29:16

16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own.


Job 22:2

aCan a man be profitable to God?

Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
