Proverbs 21:20
King James Version
20 There is treasure to be desired
and oil in the dwelling of the wise;
but a foolish man spendeth it up.

and said,
How dreadful is this place!
this is none other but the house of God,
and this is the gate of heaven.
18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning,
and took the stone that he had put for his pillows,
and set it up for a pillar,
and poured oil upon the top of it.
19 And he called the name of that place Bethel:
but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

and the creditor is come to take unto him
my two sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her,
What shall I do for thee?
tell me,
what hast thou in the house?
And she said,
Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house,
save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said,
Go,
borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours,
even empty vessels;
borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in,
thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons,
and shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him,
and shut the door upon her and upon her sons,
who brought the vessels to her;
and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass,
when the vessels were full,
that she said unto her son,
Bring me yet a vessel.
And he said unto her,
There is not a vessel more.
And the oil stayed.

And he said,
Go, sell the oil,
and pay thy debt,
and live thou and thy children of the rest.

2 Oh that I were as in months past,
as in the days when God preserved me;

and when by his light I walked through darkness;
4 As I was in the days of my youth,
when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

when my children were about me;
6 When I washed my steps with butter,
and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

she that conceived them hath done shamefully:

I will go after my lovers,
that give me my bread and my water,
my wool and my flax,
mine oil and my drink.
6 Therefore,
behold,
I will hedge up thy way with thorns,
and make a wall,
that she shall not find her paths.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers,
but she shall not overtake them;
and she shall seek them,
but shall not find them:
then shall she say,
I will go and return to my first husband;
for then was it better with me than now.
8 For she did not know that I gave her corn,
and wine,
and oil,
and multiplied her silver and gold,
which they prepared for Baal*.

leaving him half dead.

a certain priest that way:
and when he saw him,
he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite,
when he was at the place,
came and looked on him,
and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan,
as he journeyed,
came where he was:
and when he saw him,
he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him,
and bound up his wounds,
pouring in oil and wine,
and set him on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn,
and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed,
he took out two pence,
and gave them to the host,
and said unto him,
Take care of him;
and whatsoever thou spendest more,
when I come again,
I will repay thee.

let him call for the elders of the church;

King James Version
10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,
saying,
Alas, alas that great city Babylon,
that mighty city!
for in one hour is thy judgment come.
11 And the merchants of the earth
shall weep and mourn over her;
for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
12 The merchandise of gold, and silver,
and precious stones, and of pearls,
and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet,
and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory,
and all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, and iron, and marble,
13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments,
and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour,
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses,
and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
14 And the fruits that thy soul lusted after
are departed from thee,
and all things which were dainty and goodly
are departed from thee,
and thou shalt find them no more at all.
15 The merchants of these things,
which were made rich by her,
shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment,
weeping and wailing,
These verses spoke of what oil was for.
How it was used.
Who was not allowed to use it.
Now, we come to something magnificent:
OIL for JESUS.
