I'd say that HH's example of 2 Pet. 2:13 is precisely on point; I would add Rev. 22:12, in that it clearly implies positive reward (MISQOS) for those whose actions deserve it and negative reward (MISQOS) for those whose actions deserve it.

HH: It might be able to do it indirectly through its signification of
"wages":
Prov. 11:18 The wicked man earns deceptive WAGES, but he who sows
righteousness reaps a sure reward.
2Pet. 2:13 And shall receive the REWARD of unrighteousness, as they that
count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes,
sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;
2Pet. 2:15 Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray,
following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the WAGES of
unrighteousness;
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
