Light Within A Crooked Generation - Proverbs 2:15

Wicked men not only choose the dark paths to travel, but their pathway is crooked. Another way of stating this principle is - the way of the sinner is hard (Proverbs 13:15). The path of the wicked is rough and rugged. They stumble and fall; and cannot walk with contentment. And the longer they stay on this crooked and dark path, the more enslaved they become with no hope of finding joy or eternal peace - only misery.

The way of of the righteous, however, is straight, even, and uniform. Wisdom protects us from the miseries that are found along the crooked path. There is a high road that leads to life (and few find it). However, there is a low road that leads to death. So, choose wisely which road you intend to travel. Those who choose the low road and refuse to turn from it will grow in perversity - compounding their misery.
