menu_book Verse in Context

22 It will not have rule over godly men. They will not be burned in its flame.

23 Those who forsake the Lord will fall into it. It will burn among them, and won’t be quenched. It will be sent against them like a lion. It will destroy them like a leopard.

24 As you hedge your possession about with thorns, and secure your silver and your gold,

25 so make a balance and a weight for your words, and make a door and a bar for your mouth.

26 Take heed lest you slip with it, lest you fall before one who lies in wait.
