When A Spirit Of Entrapment Is Prevalent Among A Nation's Citizens,
Then That Nation Is Headed For Destruction.
An Example Of This Is When People Are "Sue Happy",
Who Think That Frivolous Law Suits Are Acceptable :
(Daniel 6:5 KJV)
"Then said these men,
We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel,
except we find it against him concerning the law of his God."

(Jeremiah 5:26 KJV)
"For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares [ traps ];
they set a trap, they catch men."

(Habakkuk 1:13 KJV)
"Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity:
wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously,
and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?"
(Habakkuk 1:14 KJV)
"And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?"
(Habakkuk 1:15 KJV)
"They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag:
therefore they rejoice and are glad."
(Habakkuk 1:16 KJV)
"Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag;
because by them their portion is fat, and their meat plenteous."

(Jeremiah 20:10 KJV)
"For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side.
Report, say they, and we will report it.
All my familiars watched for my halting [ fault ],
saying, Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him,
and we shall take our revenge on him."

(Isaiah 29:20 KJV)
"For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed,
and all that watch for iniquity [ fault ] are cut off:"
(Isaiah 29:21 KJV)
"That make a man an offender for a word,
and lay a snare [ trap ] for him that reproveth in the gate,
and turn aside the just for a thing of nought."

(Jeremiah 50:7 KJV)
"All that found them have devoured them:
and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD,
the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers."
There Was A Spirit Of Entrapment Among The People When Jesus Was In Jerusalem :
(Matthew 11:18 KJV)
"For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil."
(Matthew 11:19 KJV)
"The Son of man came eating and drinking,
and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
But wisdom is justified of her children."
____________________
(Luke 7:33 KJV)
"For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil."
(Luke 7:34 KJV)
"The Son of man is come eating and drinking;
and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!"
(Luke 7:35 KJV)
"But wisdom is justified of all her children."
No Matter What Position A Person Took,
The Hyper-Critical People Still Found Fault With Him.
(James 2:5 NRSV)
"Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters.
Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith
and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?"
(James 2:6 NRSV)
"But you have dishonored the poor.
Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court?"
The Judeo-Christian Bible Alerts Us That,
When We See A Prevalent Attitude Among A Nation's Citizens
That Says That "Entrapment" Is Acceptable,
Then BRIBERY Is Probably Happening, Also, Behind The Scenes :
(Isaiah 1:23 KJV)
"Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves:
every one loveth gifts [ bribes ] , and followeth after rewards [ bribes ] :
they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them."
(Isaiah 5:22 KJV)
"Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:"
(Isaiah 5:23 KJV)
"Which justify the wicked for reward [ bribes ] ,
and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!"
(Micah 7:2 KJV)
"The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men:
they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net."
(Micah 7:3 KJV)
"That they may do evil with both hands earnestly,
the prince asketh [ for a bribe ] , and the judge asketh for a reward [ bribe ] ;
and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up."
This Is Preserved In The Bible
Because Israel Was Commanded By God To Warn Everyone
That Entrapment & Bribery Are Damaging To Any Nation.
