What the Bible says about Stealing Motivated by Greed
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Exodus 22:1-4 The penalty for thievery to avert hunger was not as severe as stealing motivated by greed. Nevertheless, any kind of stealing is shameful (Jeremiah 2:26). We should ask God to provide for our needs so that we will not be tempted to steal to survive (Proverbs 30:7-9). Martin G. Collins The Eighth Commandment Related Topics: Greed | Penalty of Sin | Sin ,Penalty for | Stealing | Stealing Motivated by Greed | Temptation | Temptation, Help in Resisting | Temptation, Resisting

Leviticus 19:35-37 God states things so simply. Manufacturers have the responsibility to produce high quality, fairly priced products and pay a wage reasonable to the work performed regardless of race or gender. Certainly the manufacturer has a rightful claim to a profit, but he is not to increase his measure of profit at the expense of the consumer, the public at large, or nature. God says in Revelation 11:19 that He will destroy those who destroy the earth. John W. Ritenbaugh The Eighth Commandment (1997) Related Topics: Eighth Commandment | Shoddy Workmanship | Stealing | Stealing Motivated by Greed | Taking Advantage of People | The Eighth Commandment
