You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you (Psalm 128:2).
A worker’s wage is credited not as a gift, but as something due. (Rom 4:4)
The wages you withheld from the workers are crying aloud and have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts (Jas 5:4).
Take as your wages half of all that you have brought back, and go in peace (Tb 12:5).
BONUS
See to it that you give what is due to the man who made the journey with you; give him a bonus too (Tb 12:1).
