Be Very Careful Where You Lead People

"Whosoever causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, shall fall himself into his own pit; but the upright shall have good things in possessions." Proverbs 28:10 (KJV)

"He who leads the upright along an evil path will fall into his own trap, but the blameless will receive a good inheritance." Proverbs 28:10 (NIV)

It is not good to intentionally lead good people down the wrong path. Those who do that will pay for it. The attempted corruption of the righteous is a wicked sin according to John Mac Arthur. The doom of seducers, who attempt to draw good people into sin are enemies of the righteous, and their condemnation will be so much greater according to Matthew Henry.

When people are following you, or following your advice, be very careful where you lead them.
