Proverbs 1:10-16 ▼

10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not be willing.

11 If they say, “Come with us, we lay wait for blood, || We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

12 We swallow them as Sheol—alive, || And whole—as those going down [to] the pit,

13 We find every precious substance, || We fill our houses [with] spoil,

14 You cast your lot among us, || One purse is—to all of us.”

15 My son! Do not go in the way with them, || Withhold your foot from their path,

16 For their feet run to evil, || And they hurry to shed blood.
