Holy Scripture
Proverbs 2:21
A church father on this verse
“It is right and holy therefore, men and brethren, rather to obey God than to follow those who, through pride and sedition, have become the leaders of a detestable emulation. For we shall incur no slight injury, but rather great danger, if we rashly yield ourselves to the inclinations of men who aim at exciting strife…”

19None that go by her shall return, Neither shall they take hold of right paths, For they are not apprehended of the years of life.
20For had they gone in good paths, They would have found the paths of righteousness easy.

22The paths of the ungodly shall perish out of the earth, And transgressors shall be driven away from it.
