My Child, If Sinners Try To Entice You, Do Not Consent!

Proverbs 1:10 ​​​​​–15

My child, if sinners try to entice you, ​​​​​​do not consent!

​​​​​​​If they say, “Come with us! ​​​​​​We will lie in wait to shed blood; ​​​​​​we will ambush an innocent person capriciously. We will swallow them alive like Sheol, ​​​​​​those full of vigor like those going down to the Pit. We will seize all kinds of precious wealth; ​​​​​​we will fill our houses with plunder. Join with us! ​​​​​​We will all share equally in what we steal.”

​​​​​​​My child, do not go down their way, ​​​​​​withhold yourself from their path;

Little Pilgrim, the Laws of the Land

Prohibit innocent blood shed;

Many therefore obey it

Yet, in their hearts, they have killed many

Eyes that dart like arrows

Mouths that soil happiness

Evil thoughts that can suffocate brain cells

It would not be enough, Little Pilgrim

That you preserve life and other people’s wealth

Steal not from a brother

Plunder not from a stranger

Having desisted, condemn these

At the top of your lungs

So that you are absolved from the sins of omission
