Sitting at the feet of dear ole uncle Solomon and this is what he had to say today!
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Wisdom is so simple. If sinners lure you, do not make an agreement with them, especially for evil. The thing is to be sure what a sinner is (1 John 3:4)

11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
If they present a great plan to get money at the life of someone else, flee from such people or group. This may be street level thugs and vain persons or high level executives praying on the life of the poor.
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
“Invest with us,” they may continue to say and suggest to you, but you must needs to simply turn it down, even if they threaten you.
Consent Thou Not With Sinners
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
You must do this because their feet run to do evil and shed innocent blood and you do not want to be an accomplice to their actions, by man nor by the Most High.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
When you choose to go with them and do evil, you are really spreading the net over your own self. You are really laying wait for your own blood because you are greedy of gain.
This is what most sinners and criminals are unaware of, therefore consent with them not!
Pass this on to your children, community, and all people who feel they are on the fence of doing unrighteousness for greedy gain. Just remember consent thou not!
