Proverbs 5 NIV [23] For lack of discipline they will die, led astray by their own great folly As I read this verse another popped into my mind: James 1:13-15 ESV Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God," for God cannot be tempted with evil and He Himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
