3. Amalek Used Gifts With No Thought of Giver—That wicked people [the Amalekites] were dwelling in God’s world, the house which he had prepared for His faithful, obedient children. Yet they appropriated His gifts to their own use, without one thought of the Giver. The more blessings He poured upon them, the more boldly they transgressed against Him. Thus they continued to pervert His blessings and abuse His mercy....{2BC 1016.4}

3. Amalek brugte gaver uden tanke for giveren. - Dette onde folk [amalekitterne] boede i Guds verden, huset var blevet forberedt til Hans trofaste og lydige børn. Alligevel annekterede de Hans gaver til eget brug, uden tanke på Giveren. Jo flere velsignelser han udgød over dem, des frækkere gjorde Ham fortræd. Derved fortsatte de med at forvanske Hans velsignelser misbruge Hans barmhjertighed. . . . .
