Proverbs 1:8-19

8My sonH1121, hearH8085 the instructionH4148 of thy fatherH1, and forsakeH5203 not the lawH8451 of thy motherH517: 9For they shall be an ornamentH3880 of graceH2580 unto thy headH7218, and chainsH6060 about thy neckH1621.1

10My sonH1121, if sinnersH2400 enticeH6601 thee, consentH14 thou not. 11If they sayH559, ComeH3212 with us, let us lay waitH693 for bloodH1818, let us lurkH6845 privily for the innocentH5355 without causeH2600: 12Let us swallow them upH1104 aliveH2416 as the graveH7585; and wholeH8549, as those that go downH3381 into the pitH953: 13We shall findH4672 all preciousH3368 substanceH1952, we shall fillH4390 our housesH1004 with spoilH7998: 14CastH5307 in thy lotH1486 amongH8432 us; let us all have oneH259 purseH3599: 15My sonH1121, walkH3212 not thou in the wayH1870 with them; refrainH4513 thy footH7272 from their pathH5410: 16For their feetH7272 runH7323 to evilH7451, and make hasteH4116 to shedH8210 bloodH1818. 17Surely in vainH2600 the netH7568 is spreadH2219 in the sightH5869 of any birdH3671H1167.2 18And they lay waitH693 for their own bloodH1818; they lurk privilyH6845 for their own livesH5315. 19So are the waysH734 of every one that is greedyH1214 of gainH1215; which taketh awayH3947 the lifeH5315 of the ownersH1167 thereof.
