Proverbs 4:15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. There is no need of your trying to face certain temptations. You are foolhardy to try it. Your only safety is in flight. It is as fifty against five thousand. If you be given to appetite, escape the presence of decanter and demijohn. If you are given to pride, go not amidst things that flatter it. If your proclivity be toward uncleanness, like Job make a covenant with your eyes, that you look not upon a maid. (T. De Witt Talmage.) Parallel Verses KJV: Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.WEB: Avoid it, and don't pass by it. Turn from it, and pass on. |
