Proverbs 1:10-16 ▼

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

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

12 let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

13 We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil.

14 Throw in your lot with us. We'll all have one purse.|

15 My son, do not walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

16 for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
