Proverbs 1:10-17

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

11If they say, “Come with us; Let us lie in wait to shed blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

12Let us swallow them alive like Sheol (the place of the dead), Even whole, as those who go down to the pit [of death];

13We will find and take all kinds of precious possessions, We will fill our houses with spoil;

14Throw in your lot with us [they insist]; We will all have one money bag [in common],”

15My son, do not walk on the road with them; Keep your foot [far] away from their path,

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

17Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird;
