Proverbs 1:13-14

1798–1870
Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil; Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:" — Proverbs 1:13-14 (ASV)

The second form of temptation (see Proverbs 1:10 note) appeals to the main attraction of the robber-life, its wild communism, the sense of equal hazards and equal hopes.
