Here is a good one to think about. It isn't Biblical, but it is classic literature. Below you will find a quote from Dickens along with some notes to give context.

Quote:The narrator describes Marley’s ghost’s appearance as he visits Scrooge. Marley looks like he did in life except that he now appears transparent and wears a chain of items related to his business. Scrooge will learn that the chain serves as Marley’s punishment. As those things were his only concern in life, Marley must carry them now and forever. Further, Scrooge learns that he himself has already forged a similar chain—but for seven years longer. Marley’s appearance warns Scrooge of his potential fate.
Quote:“I wear the chain I forged in life,” replied the Ghost. “I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it. Is its pattern strange to you?”Marley explains the justice in his everlasting punishment. The choices he made in life, to value money and business over others’ welfare, created the fetters he wears now. He acts surprised that Scrooge does not recognize what makes up his chain. As Marley knows, Scrooge’s currently invisible chain consists of the same items, because the two men made the same choices and focused on the same things in their lives.
