(Modern Paraphrase)

 

The T.V. set is my shephe=
rd.  My spiritual growth shall want.

 

It maketh me to sit down and do n=
othing for His name’s sake, because it requireth my spare time.  It ke=
epeth me from doing my duty as a Christian because it presenteth so many go=
od shows that I must see.

 

It restoreth my knowledge of the things of the wo=
rld, and keepeth me from the study of God’s word.  It leadeth me in th=
e paths of failing to attend the evening worship services and doing nothing=
in the Kingdom of God.

 =

Yea, though I live to be a hundred, I shall keep on=
viewing my T.V. as long as it will work, for it is my closest companion.&n=
bsp; Its sound and its picture, they comfort me.

 

It presenteth entertainmen=
t before me, and keepeth me from doing important things with my family.&nbs=
p; It fills my head with ideas that differ from those set forth in the Word=
of God.

 

Surely, no good thing will come of my life, because my T.V. offere=
th me no good time to do the will of God; thus I will dwell in the place of=
shame and sorrow forever.
