SPEAKER 2
Proverbs 1, 15-19 My son, walk not thou in the way with them. Refrain thy foot from their path, for their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. They lay wait for their own blood. They lurk privily for their own lives.
0:33
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain, which taketh away the life of the owners thereof. The Father speaks again, this time with greater urgency. The enticement has been heard. The invitation extended. But now comes the command. Do not take a single step with them. Do not test the path.

Do not linger near it. Turn your feet away before they take hold of you. Sin is rarely content with a slow pace. Its feet run. It makes haste. It does not wander aimlessly. It has an appetite for destruction. And see here how the fool deceives himself. He lays the snare, thinking he hunts another. But the trap...

Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.”

After watching the video, give some thought to the following question:

Have you ever witnessed or experienced the destructive consequences of greed—whether in your own life or in others? How did it reveal the truth that sin ultimately ensnares those who pursue it?
