Ecclesiastes 7:2-4
So it’s better to go where people are mourning than to go where people are having a good time. Everyone will die someday. Those who are still living should really think about that.Not being able to figure things out is better than laughter. That’s because sorrow is good for the heart.Those who are wise are found where there is sorrow. But foolish people are found where there is pleasure.

Jeremiah 15:17
I never sat around with those who go to wild parties. I never had a good time with them. I sat alone because you had put your powerful hand on me. Your anger against sin was burning inside me.

Amos 6:4-6
You lie down on beds that are decorated with ivory. You rest on your couches. You eat the best lambs and the fattest calves.You pluck away on your harps as David did. You play new songs on musical instruments.You drink wine by the bowlful. You use the finest lotions. But Joseph’s people will soon be destroyed. And you aren’t even sad about it.

Isaiah 22:12-14
The Lord who rules over all called out to you at that time. The Lord told you to weep and cry. He told you to tear your hair out. And he told you to put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad.Instead, you are enjoying yourselves at wild parties! You are killing cattle and sheep. You are eating their meat and drinking wine. You are saying,“ Let’s eat and drink, because tomorrow we’ll die.”I heard the Lord who rules over all speaking.“ Your sin can never be paid for as long as you live,” says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 5 11
But here is what I am writing to you now. You must stay away from anyone who claims to be a believer but does evil things. Stay away from anyone who commits sexual sins. Stay away from anyone who always wants more and more things. Stay away from anyone who worships statues of gods. Stay away from anyone who tells lies about others. Stay away from anyone who gets drunk or who cheats. Don’t even eat with people like these.

They were planting and building.But on the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven. And all the people were destroyed.
