  Words of Wisdom  

If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?
And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.   Numbers 24:13, 14 

Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.   1 Kings 20:3 

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of mine own proper good, of gold and silver, which I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house.   1 Chronicles 29:3 

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:
His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.   Daniel 10:5, 6 

The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.   Haggai 2:8
