Devices - Left to one's own devices

Postby dreams » Mon Nov 24, 2003 10:11 pm

Meaning: Given over to an evil way that results in one's own destruction.

"We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts."
Book of Common Prayer

Psalm 10:2
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Proverbs 1:31
Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

Jeremiah 18:12
And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
