Luke 15:13

Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance.

He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.

Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods.

But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die.

As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place.

There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away...

Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.

Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.

O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast wi...

And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.

But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
