Context of Proverbs 1:10
8My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: 9For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck. My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not. 11If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause; 12Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10If sinners entice thee, consent thou not - תבא אל al tobe, Will-not. They can do thee no harm unless thy will join in with them.
