Proverbs 1:10-19
10 My son, if sinners a entice you,do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, b let us lie in wait for blood;
c let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us d swallow them alive,
and whole, like e those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son f do not walk in the way with them;
g hold back your foot from their paths,
16 for h their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 i For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men j lie in wait for their own blood;
they k set an ambush for their own lives.
19 l Such are the ways of everyone who is m greedy for unjust gain;
n it takes away the life of its possessors.
