To Micah
| [[Leviticus 19:35]] - [[Leviticus 19:36]]
| Do not use dishonest measuring instruments or standards.
| Also [[Deuteronomy 25:13]] - [[Deuteronomy 25:16]], [[Proverbs 11:1]], [[Proverbs 20:10]], [[Proverbs 20:23]], [[Amos 8:5]], [[Micah 6:11]].
|-
| [[Leviticus 25:1]] - [[Leviticus 25:7]]
| Turning swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks.
| The same materials can have different technological applications. Indeed, the same technology can be used for both war and peace, for good and for evil.
Repeated in [[Micah 4:3]], so maybe this became a common saying. If so, then the reversal in [[Joel 3:10]] would have been quite striking.

| [[Isaiah 2:12]] - [[Isaiah 2:22]]
| [[Jeremiah 35:6]] - [[Jeremiah 35:11]]
| The Recabites don't drink wine, build houses, sow seed or plant vineyards.
| While not strictly anti-technology, the Recabites took a kind of Amish stance. God congratulates them on upholding their ancestor's command and contrasts them to the rest of Israel who don't even obey ''God's '' commands.
|-
| [[Jeremiah 50:9]]
|-
| [[Amos 7:7]] - [[Amos 7:8]]| God sets a plumb-line against which to judge Israel.
|
|-
| [[Jonah]]| Jonah tries to escape from God's call on a ship|No technology, and nothing human-made can hide us from God or take us out of God's reach.The human-made ship takes Jonah away, but the God-made fish brings him back. I wonder how many people have been drawn away from God by technology -- perhaps a belief that technology makes God an unnecessary assumption, or perhaps just being side-tracked by an attraction to technology (addition to Internet gaming?) -- and I wonder how many are brought towards God by the majesty of God's creation?
