( 11 ) Isa 33:15 He that walketh righteously , and speaketh uprightly ; he that despiseth the gain "betsa`" of oppressions , that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes , that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood , and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil ; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}

.. serve God and profit .. serve God and Mammon.. This verse in the OT seems to be exactly the same phrase at the NT wording phrase....

Written in Hebrew
"'amar" "shav'" "`abad" "'elohiym" "f" "betsa`"
"'It is said" "it is vanity'" "to serve" "'elohiym" "and Mammon`"

This exactly the same Greek translation of similar wordings
"ou" "dunamai'" "douleuo" "'theos" "kai""mammonas"
"'You" "cannot'" "serve" "'elohiym" "and Mammon`"

WOW ! This makes me very confident I have found the right word for "mammon"

Notice the Greek is an exact translation of the Hebrew

( 26 ) Lu 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon "betsa`", who will commit to your trust the true riches? {mammon: or, riches}

.. in the unrighteous profit .. in the corruption of Mammon
