The key point of the advice in this chapter is about wanting to be independent. You might try to rely on money to enable you to manage without God, you might think that you can please yourself and he won’t punish you, but he will catch up with you in the end. So turn back to him before it’s too late! People cannot disconnect themselves from God, and live their lives without reference to him completely. They might try, kidding themselves that they are their own masters, but God is only being merciful, and hasn’t started punishing them yet.
Similarly, the opposite is true - we shouldn’t be so connected to other people that we get led astray by them into behaving in an ungodly way. God is not fooled, even if we are.
