God Teaches Us

Pastor Scott Brenner Proverbs 1:8-19
9 For they will be a graceful ornament on your head, And chains about your neck
10 My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent
11 If they say, “Come with us, Let us lie in wait to shed blood; Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious possessions, We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;
16 For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood
17 Surely, in vain the net is spread In the sight of any bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood, They lurk secretly for their own lives
19 So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners
