2. Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent
thou not.
Wicked people are zealous in seducing others into
the paths of the destroyer: sinners love company in
sin.
Matthew Henry Concise Bible Commentary.
They will make it sound so fun; like you will be
part of a fun group.
Consent thou not!

3. 11 Ifthey say, Come with us, let us lay wait for
blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without
cause: 12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;
and whole, as those that go down into the pit: 13 We
shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our
houses with spoil: 14 Cast in thy lot among us; let
us all have one purse:
Whatever they are enticing you to do,
Don’t !
God’s Way is the only way of blessing.

4. 15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them;
refrain thy foot from their path: 16 For their feet run
to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
Don’t even keep company with those
who love sin and evil.
Walk with the Lord and His people.
You will pick up their ways of talking, behaving,
And you will reap the consequences with them.
Choose godly friends who love the Lord and His
Way; the Way of blessing.

5. 17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any
bird.
The end results of the traps of sin are always
hidden from view until you’re caught.

6. 18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk
privily for their own lives. 19 So are the ways of
every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away
the life of the owners thereof.
They think they are harming only their victims, but
in truth, they are harming themselves much more.
Even when they commit murder,
They are harming themselves more.
If someone killed me – I go to Heaven right then.
But what happens to them?

7. What causes them to commit these sins?
They are often greedy of gain.
1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV) For the love of money is a
root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for
money, have wandered from the faith and pierced
themselves with many griefs.
They may be seeking pleasure, stuff, acceptance.
Whatever they want, they are looking
in the wrong places.

8. 20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in
the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of
concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city
she uttereth her words, saying, 22 How long, ye
simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the
scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate
knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I
will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make
known My Words unto you.

9. Wisdom is trying everywhere to be heard.
No one can say, “Nobody told me.”

10. 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simpli-
city (foolishness)? and the scorners delight in their
scorning (making fun), and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at My reproof: behold, I will pour out
My Spirit unto you, I will make known My Words
unto you.
It’s not that people can’t hear;
it is that they won’t hear.
10

11. They shut their ears and
close their eyes.
They don’t want to know.
It’s easier to walk blindly on, claiming that they
think they are doing good things.
11

12. 23 Turnyou at My reproof: behold, I will pour out
My Spirit unto you, I will make known My Words
unto you.
Turn
You can live a victorious life
walking with the Lord,
Jesus Christ. 12
