Scripture Reading: Proverbs 1:10-19 (KJV)
"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."
