Bible Verses About Alliance and Society with the Enemies of God

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

Dost Thou slay, O God, the wicked? Then, men of blood, turn aside from me!

My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

We swallow them as Sheol--alive, And whole--as those going down to the pit,

Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses with spoil,

Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is--to all of us.'

My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

For wisdom cometh into thy heart, And knowledge to thy soul is pleasant,

Thoughtfulness doth watch over thee, Understanding doth keep thee,

To deliver thee from an evil way, From any speaking froward things,

Who are forsaking paths of uprightness, To walk in ways of darkness,

Who are rejoicing to do evil, They delight in frowardness of the wicked,

Whose paths are crooked, Yea, they are perverted in their ways.

To deliver thee from the strange woman, From the stranger who hath made smooth her sayings,

Who is forsaking the guide of her youth, And the covenant of her God hath forgotten.

For her house hath inclined unto death, And unto Rephaim her paths.

None going in unto her turn back, Nor do they reach the paths of life.

That thou dost go in the way of the good, And the paths of the righteous dost keep.

Into the path of the wicked enter not, And be not happy in a way of evil doers.

Avoid it, pass not over into it, Turn aside from it, and pass on.

Forsake ye, the simple, and live, And be happy in the way of understanding.

Whoso is tilling the ground is satisfied with bread, And whoso is pursuing vanities is lacking heart,

Go from before a foolish man, Or thou hast not known the lips of knowledge.
