Proverbs 1 v 10 - 19 - Young people, don't do it!


The writer gives a list of things that attract young people in particular. 
Okay so imagine these guys going:


"hey blud, come and ambush these people, we're gona kill dem, attack innocent people just for the lols. we're gona steal as well, all the expensive stuff and den put it in our house, yeah?"


So, there's loads of people who act like this in real life, possibly who do / don't speak as chavily as i just wrote though. People like the temporary thrill and excitement and adventure of doing something against the law. Things that people like this do, is wrong against the laws of the world, but against the laws against God, so there really is no justification for doing it. There are many reasons for joining in stuff like this, like peer pressure and longing for acceptance so we shouldn't judge them but help. And obv, this applies to everything, drink and drugs and etc, not just stealing and murder but yeah.


These people "gain the world but they lose their soul" which is a pretty famous quote which can apply to a million situations, but especially this one. 



And then the "parents" say (who are very wise):
"No don't do it, don't go along with these "youths". they are eager to sin, and quick to do evil, don't get involved."
He makes the point of sinners, but unGodly sinners, falling into traps, how their sin will backfire into their face.
Matthew 26:52 Jesus said to the man, "Put your sword back in its place. All who use swords will be killed with 
swords. 
And eventually they will die. So here, it's saying wisdom is a matter of life and death, which is knowing God vs not knowing God. he will repay all the evil people in this life or in the next life.
Romans 2:6 God will reward or punish every person for what that person has done.
