SCRIPTURE

"My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:" — Proverbs 1:15 (ASV)

My son, walk not you in the way with them
In the same way as they do, which is the broad way that leads unto destruction; set not one foot in it; make no trial of it, whether it will be pleasant and profitable walking in it; the experiment will be dangerous; refrain your foot from their path ;
their manner and course of life; do not follow it, nor join them in it; when there is an inclination or a temptation to it, withstand it; stop in time, do not proceed, but draw back, and go on in the way you have been trained up in, and remember the instructions of your parents.
