Bible Study today

[spiderman1917]

This was what the Bible study was on today.  It was for me and was a warning from God. Since I have not heeded the instruction of Elders in real life or here at worthy, Calamity shall befall me to one extent or another.  

Proverbs 1

The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:

2  To know wisdom and instruction,

to understand words of insight,

3  to receive instruction in wise dealing,

in brighteousness, justice, and equity;

4  to give prudence to cthe simple,

knowledge and ddiscretion to the youth—

5  Let the wise hear and increase in learning,

and the one who understands obtain guidance,

6  to understand a proverb and a saying,

The words of the wise and their riddles.

7  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;

fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The Enticement of Sinners

8  Hear, my son, your father's instruction,

and forsake not your mother's teaching,

9  for they are a graceful garland for your head

and pendants for your neck.

10  My son, if sinners entice you,

do not consent.

11  If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;

let us ambush the innocent without reason;

12  like Sheol let us swallow them alive,

and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13  we shall find all precious goods,

we shall fill our houses with plunder;

14  throw in your lot among us;

we will all have one purse”—

15  my son, do not walk in the way with them;

hold back your foot from their paths,

16  for stheir feet run to evil,

and they make haste to shed blood.

17  For in vain is a net spread

in the sight of any bird,

18  

....

20  Wisdom cries aloud in the street,

in the markets she raises her voice;

21  at the head of the noisy streets she cries out;

at the entrance of the city gates she speaks:

22  “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?

How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing

and fools hate knowledge?

23  If you turn at my reproof,1

behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;

I will make my words known to you.

24  

because you have ignored all my counsel

and would have none of my reproof,

26  I also will laugh at your calamity;

I will mock when terror strikes you,

27  when terror strikes you like la storm

and your calamity comes like a whirlwind,

when distress and anguish come upon you.

28  Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer;

they will seek me diligently but will not find me.

29  Because they hated knowledge

and did not choose the fear of the Lord,

30  would have none of my counsel

and despised all my reproof,

31  therefore they shall eat othe fruit of their way,

and have their fill of their own devices.

32  For the simple are killed by qtheir turning away,

and the complacency of fools destroys them;

33  but whoever listens to me will dwell secure

and will be at ease, without dread of disaster.
