Hos 4:8 CSB They feed on the sin of my people; they have an appetite for their iniquity. In their greed the priests fed on the sins of the people by encouraging them to multiply the hypocritical sacrifices which the Lord hated. The priests’ underlying motive in doing this was greed, since they received portions of the offerings which were presented.

Heb 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” This virtue to cultivate is contentment. That is, let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. I should say so! He has Christ; that is enough. Covetousness breaks fellowship with God and hinders spiritual progress. The greatest riches a person can have lie in possessing Him who promises, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Mat 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. The impossibility of living for God and for money is stated here in terms of masters and slaves. No one can serve two masters. One will inevitably take precedence in his loyalty and obedience. So it is with God and mammon. They present rival claims and a choice must be made. Either we must put God first and reject the rule of materialism or we must live for temporal things and refuse God’s claim on our lives.
