14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
24 and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.

9 “Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
25 “But you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
12 The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does not allow him to sleep.
30 A tranquil heart is life to the body, But passion is rottenness to the bones.
AMP vs 30 A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.
23 Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.
22 A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

1 A good name is to be more desired than great wealth, Favor is better than silver and gold.
10 For he sees that even wise men die; The stupid and the senseless alike perish And leave their wealth to others.
4 Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. 5 When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.
22 A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth And does not know that want will come upon him.

18 “But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
5 Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,”
12 I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.
13 Do not love sleep, or you will become poor; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with food.
23 In all labor there is profit, But mere talk leads only to poverty.
6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May they prosper who love you.
6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
8 “Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?’ In tithes and offerings. 9 “You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you! 10 “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this,” says the Lord of hosts, “if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows. 11 “Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine in the field cast its grapes,” says the Lord of hosts. 12 “All the nations will call you blessed, for you shall be a delightful land,” says the Lord of hosts.

5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
19 This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
15 The rod and reproof give wisdom, But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

30 There is no wisdom and no understanding And no counsel against the Lord.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. 7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil. 8 It will be healing to your body And refreshment to your bones. 9 Honor the Lord from your wealth And from the first of all your produce; 10 So your barns will be filled with plenty And your vats will overflow with new wine.
