Responsive Reading:

Leader                     My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.
Congregation         If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason; like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
Leader                     we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder; throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—
Congregation         my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
Leader                     For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,
but these men lie in wait for their own blood;
Congregation         they set an ambush for their own lives.
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.

Proverbs 1:10-19

Leader                 The grass withers, the flower fades,
Congregation    but the word of our God will stand forever.

Isaiah 40:8

Benediction:

Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you, and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you, so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

1 Thessalonians 3:11-13
