Proverbs 1:10-16 ▼

10 My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.

11 If they say: 'Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us lurk for the innocent without cause;

12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

13 We shall find all precious substance, We shall fill our houses with spoil;

14 Cast in thy lot among us; Let us all have one purse'--

15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them, Restrain thy foot from their path;

16 For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
