Posted by Lynn on 11/13/2006, 9:24 am Rewards Numbers 22:7 Isaiah 1:23 Daniel 2:6; 5:17 Hosea 2:12 (refers to idolatry) As you can see, this is an unusual group of verses and definitely have nothing to do with rewards for good works.
206.148.184.145
Over time, I have heard many people talk about working for rewards. The word "rewards" occurs five times in scripture. There is never a mention of God giving rewards.
And the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with "the rewards of divination" in their hand; and they came unto Balaam, and spake unto him the words of Balak.
"The princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards"; they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
(King Nebuchadnezzar and son Belshazzar offering gifts and rewards to Daniel for interpretation of their dreams)
And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, "These are my rewards that my lovers have given me": and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
