Happy are those who do not follow the advice of the wicked. (Psalm 1:1)
There is no middle road, only the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous.

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
(Bob Dylan)

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

We can run but we can't hide from it
Of all possible worlds we only got one we gotta ride on it
Whatever we've done
We'll never get far from what we leave behind
(Grateful Dead)

And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, the Magi left for their own country by another road. (Matthew 2:12)

After seeing the Messiah, it is not possible to follow Herod or anyone like him.

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch. You're a nasty wasty skunk! Your heart is full of unwashed socks, Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch. The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote: "Stink! Stank! Stunk!"

O daughter Babylon, you devastator! Happy shall they be who pay you back what you have done to us!

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

Do you remember
The 21st night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
While chasin' the clouds away
(Earth, Wind, & Fire)

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

Meet me at the bottom, don't lag behind
Bring me my boots and shoes
You can hang back or fight your best on the front line
Sing a little bit of these workingman blues
(Bob Dylan)

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
(Bob Dylan)

I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger. (Jeremiah 4:26)

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

"Shall I not punish them for these things?" says the Lord, "and shall I not bring retribution on a nation such as this?" (Jeremiah 5:9,29)

Crazy, but that's how it goes
Millions of people living as foes
Maybe it's not too late
To learn how to love and forget how to hate
(Ozzy Osbourne)

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
(Bob Dylan)

Therefore because you trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them. (Amos 5:11)

God's justice is assured.

[Harlan VanOort @Rev5280]

Ain't it hard when you discovered that
He really wasn't where it's at
After he took from you everything he could steal

Ah, you who turn justice to wormwood and bring righteousness to the ground! (Amos 5:7)
