The warning is clear. Will you bend or will you be broken?

My brothers and sisters in Christ, the fear of the Lord, is the beginning of wisdom but fools despise wisdom and instruction. “If sinners entice you, do not consent, for their feet run to evil and they make haste to shed blood. Let us turn at the Lord’s rebuke and surely, He will pour out His spirit upon us. But, if we refuse to bend after many warnings, we will experience sudden brokenness which will be beyond repair. Whoever is wise among us will turn away from wickedness and hardness of heart and live.
