Proverbs 1:10-19

10My son, if sinners entice you, don’t be persuaded.

11If they say — “Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!

12Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, whole, like those who go down to the Pit.

13We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder.

14Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share the loot”  —

15my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path,

16because their feet run toward evil and they hurry to shed blood.

17It is useless to spread a net where any bird can see it,

18but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.

19Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it.
