Proverbs 1:10-19 ▼

10 My son, if sinners entice you, consent not.

11 If they say to you, Come with us, let us lie in wait to shed blood, let us lie in wait for the innocent, wrongfully;

12 Let us swallow them up alive, as Sheol swallows the living, and whole as those who go down into the pit;

13 We shall find all his wealth and precious things, we shall fill our houses with spoil;

14 Cast in your lot with us; let us all have one purse;

15 My son, do not walk in the way with them; but refrain your foot from their path;

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

17 Surely in deceit is the net spread in the sight of any bird.

18 And they lie in wait, they hide themselves to shed blood.

19 Such are the ways of all who practice iniquity, who take away the life of their owners.
