Judges 17:6

⁸You shall not do all the things that we do here today, every man whatever is right in his own eyes;

¹²There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel.

²⁵In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes.

²All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the motives.

¹In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.

¹In those days there was no king in Israel. In those days the tribe of the Danites sought an inheritance to dwell in; for to that day, their inheritance had not fallen to them among the tribes of Israel.

⁴who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”

⁹Rejoice, young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth, and walk in the ways of your heart, and in the sight of your eyes; but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.

¹⁶“As for the word that you have spoken to us in the LORD’s name, we will not listen to you. ¹⁷But we will certainly perform every word that has gone out of our mouth, to burn incense to the queen of the sky and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we and our fathers, our kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem; for then we had plenty of food, and were well, and saw no evil.
