The concept of riotous behavior is addressed in various passages, highlighting its moral and social implications.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>While the specific term "riot" is not frequently used in the Old Testament, the concept is present in narratives and laws that address disorder and rebellion. For example, in <a href="/bsb/exodus/32.htm">Exodus 32</a>, the Israelites engage in chaotic and idolatrous behavior when they create and worship the golden calf. This incident reflects a collective turning away from God's commandments, resulting in disorder and divine judgment.<br><br><a href="/proverbs/23-20.htm">Proverbs 23:20-21</a> warns against associating with those who indulge in excessive drinking and gluttony, behaviors often linked to riotous living: "Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe them in rags."<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>The New Testament provides more direct references to riotous behavior, often in the context of moral exhortations. In the parable of the Prodigal Son (<a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a>), the younger son engages in "riotous living" (<a href="/luke/15-13.htm">Luke 15:13</a>, KJV) after squandering his inheritance in a distant country. This lifestyle leads to his downfall and eventual repentance, illustrating the destructive nature of such behavior.<br><br>The Apostle Paul addresses the issue of riotous living in his epistles. In <a href="/galatians/5-19.htm">Galatians 5:19-21</a>, he lists "drunkenness, orgies, and the like" as acts of the flesh, warning that "those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Similarly, in <a href="/romans/13-13.htm">Romans 13:13</a>, Paul exhorts believers to "behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy."<br><br><b>Moral and Social Implications</b><br><br>From a biblical perspective, riotous behavior is often associated with a rejection of divine order and authority. It is seen as a manifestation of the sinful nature, leading individuals and communities away from righteousness and peace. The Bible consistently calls for self-control, sobriety, and respect for authority as antidotes to the chaos and destruction that riotous behavior brings.<br><br>The biblical admonition against riotous living serves as a reminder of the importance of living a disciplined and orderly life, in accordance with God's commandments. Believers are encouraged to pursue a lifestyle that reflects the values of the Kingdom of God, characterized by peace, love, and self-control.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
