Why would I want to say get lost to a morally bankrupt tyrant?
Probably the morally bankrupt and tyrant parts.
Let's look at Proverbs 1-1:7. It clearly says that fearing the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. Because you don't fear the Lord, you will despise wisdom and instruction.
The Beginning of Knowledge
1 The proverbs of Solomon, son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction,
to understand words of insight,
3 to receive instruction in wise dealing,
in righteousness, justice, and equity;
4 to give prudence to the simple,
knowledge and discretion to the youth—
5 Let the wise hear and increase in learning,
and the one who understands obtain guidance,
6 to understand a proverb and a saying,
the words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;
fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Have you ever noticed that no matter what you say or what your attitude is, that I can always bring out a Bible verse or two that describes what you are doing?
Here is another example for you, Matthew 25:14-30. I'll let you read that.
The day you die, you are going to give an account to the very one you call morally bankrupt and tyrant. This is the same God who brought judgement on Egypt with the 10 plagues.
You wouldn't want to be against him right? What is that Earthly saying, If you can't beat them then join them.
As Jesus once said in Matthew 10:28 - Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
