Ecclesiastes 4:4
Labor Motivated by Envy
4:4 Then I considered all the skillful work that is done:
Surely it is nothing more than competition between one person and another.
This also is profitless – like chasing the wind.
Matthew 26:8-9
26:8 When
the disciples saw this, they became indignant and said, “Why this waste?
26:9 It
could have been sold at a high price and the money
given to the poor!”
John 12:4-5
12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him)
said,
12:5 “Why wasn’t this oil sold for three hundred silver coins
and the money
given to the poor?”
