Alertness » What to be aware of
'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves. And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you, and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Each of his friend -- beware ye, And on any brother, do not trust, For every brother doth utterly supplant, For every friend slanderously doth walk, And each at his friend they mock, And truth they do not speak, They taught their tongue to speak falsehood, To commit iniquity they have laboured. thy dwelling is in the midst of deceit, Through deceit they refused to know Me, An affirmation of Jehovah.
'But, take heed of the false prophets, who come unto you in sheep's clothing, and inwardly are ravening wolves.

They have not known understanding, All of them to their own way they did turn, Each to his dishonest gain from his quarter: read more.

And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives. So are the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.
