God & Savior

Proverbs 1:10-15

10My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them. 11If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause, 12let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit. 13We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder. 14Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”— 15my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
