My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof (Proverbs 1:10-19.) The first part of this chapter is the introduction: what this is, why this is, how this is important for you to memorize. The second part is who the students are that will benefit from this wisdom. This third part is who the fools are who will be fools by ignoring this wisdom and what sort of foolishness they get into. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. All sinners are, by definition, those who disobey God (miss the mark in archery.) We are given commands--justly--by our Creator. When we dont obey, we sin--it really is that simple a definition. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit. The sinner always ends up with getting rid of others who happen to be in the way of his sin, whether by word, deed, or murder. I havent killed anyone you say? The evil people who ran the Enron scam destroyed very many lives and they didnt kill anyone either--but they robbed many, and that with no ability to restore what they stole. That your theft isnt famous never means it isnt theft; that you dont see the full consequences of your sinful choices never means they arent sinful, never means they dont end in theft or murder (or both.) Our entire society is a death cult built on the prosperity of NOT spending money on the children we permit to be aborted so someone else can be a little more comfortable. We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil. God is already there when you arrive, telling you whats really happening. Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse. While this is a very good summary of any gang, it is also tragically a very good summary of any socialist government: While capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings, socialism is the equal sharing of miseries (Winston Churchill.) The socialist government necessarily steals from those who have earned--who own by work--to give to others who then reward the gift by voting for the giver. And there hasnt been a socialist government (not socialist economy but socialist government) that didnt end up murdering those who wouldnt go with their socialist program. Thus, the plea: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. Do not go in the direction of theft and murder. That little baby whose body is tossed out, umnourned? The money the mother spends is technically stolen from the child who should have been allowed to live. There are many other examples, of course, but thats the elephant in the room this society ignores so it demands pointing out why everything else is knocked over. Notably, not only has every socialist government turned to murdering those who disagree, but every socialist government has then faced enemies (angry about their murderous ways) who replaced that government--and they never saw their end coming. Whether 1 thief, 1 gang, or 1 government, whatever the number of people, the same ends happens to them: judgment and termination of opportunities (why should God give more opportunities to anyone who has used the few opportunities given to hurt others?) Their hurting others is only arranging their own destruction: God gives them their choice, which choice they make when they purport to choose for others. Dont go there.
