Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the land by reason of their transgression. The weak are pushed to the side, the lame and the sick are lead to the slaughter. The higher than the highest regards it, my eyes are upon the sinful kingdom. Who will come out? Who will spare themselves from my wrath? You love your life more than me, you love darkness more than you love light. Your conscience has been seared, the love within long ago has faded. I will laugh at your calamity, when you fall as a drunken man. For you would have none of my reproof, the way of wisdom you did reject. You shall be a sign and a proverb, your name everlasting contempt. Look upon me, who is able to stand? Choose me this day you who have an ear to hear. I do not delay.
Proverbs 1
PR 1:1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
PR 1:2 To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding;
PR 1:3 To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;
PR 1:4 To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.
PR 1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:
PR 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings.
PR 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
PR 1:20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
PR 1:21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
PR 1:22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
PR 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
PR 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
PR 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
PR 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
PR 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
PR 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
PR 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
PR 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
PR 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
PR 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
PR 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
Grace and peace,
Austin

10 Reasons why Judgment begins at the house of God:
1.)vile
2.)liberal
3.)churl
4.)villany
5.)iniquity
6.)hypocrisy
7.)utter error against the LORD
8.)make empty the soul of the hungry
9.)deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words
10.)liberal deviseth liberal things
Isaiah 32:5 The vile(1. Loathsome; disgusting: 2. Unpleasant or objectionable:) person shall be no more called liberal (a. Not limited to or by established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian attitudes, views, or dogmas. b. Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress, and tolerant of the ideas and behavior of others; broad-minded.), nor the churl (1. A rude, boorish person. 2. A miserly person) said to be bountiful. 6For the vile person will speak villany (1. Baseness of mind or character.2. Viciousness of conduct or action.3. A treacherous or vicious act.), and his heart will work iniquity (1. Gross immorality or injustice; wickedness.2. A grossly immoral act; a sin), to practise hypocrisy (1. The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.2. An act or instance of such falseness.), and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. 8But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
