Who Is God? Part 12

God made birds!
God made the sky!
God made animals!
God made fruit!
God made trees!

 

God made the earth!
God made everything!

Proverbs 1
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction

and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

9They will be a garland to grace your head

and a chain to adorn your neck.

10My son, if sinners entice you,

do not give in to them.

11If they say, “Come along with us;

let’s lie in wait for someone’s blood,

let’s waylay some harmless soul;

12let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,^b

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

13we will get all sorts of valuable things

and fill our houses with plunder;

14throw in your lot with us,

and we will share a common purse”—

15my son, do not go along with them,

do not set foot on their paths;

16for their feet rush into sin,

they are swift to shed blood.

17How useless to spread a net

in full view of all the birds!

18These men lie in wait for their own blood;

they waylay only themselves!

19Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain;

it takes away the lives of those who get it.
