Proverbs 1:10-16

10My child, if sinners try to entice you, do not consent!

11If they say, “Come with us! We will lie in wait to shed blood; we will ambush an innocent person capriciously.

12We will swallow them alive like Sheol, those full of vigor like those going down to the Pit.

13We will seize all kinds of precious wealth; we will fill our houses with plunder.

14Join with us! We will all share equally in what we steal.”

15My child, do not go down their way, withhold yourself from their path;

16for they are eager to inflict harm, and they hasten to shed blood.
