Proverbs 1:10-16

10My child, if sinners want you to join with them, do not agree!

11They may say, ‘Come with us. We will find someone to murder. We will attack any helpless person that we choose.

12We will send them quickly to their graves. They may be strong and healthy, but they will soon be under the earth.

13We will take all their valuable things for ourselves. We will fill our houses with lots of good things.

14So come and join us! We will share with each other everything that we rob from other people.’

15My child, do not go along with people like that. Stay away from them.

16They are in a hurry to do evil things. They cannot wait to murder someone!
