Prv 1:10-19

10My son, should sinners entice you,

11do not go if they say, “Come along with us!

Let us lie in wait for blood,

unprovoked, let us trap the innocent;

12Let us swallow them alive, like Sheol,

whole, like those who go down to the pit!

13All kinds of precious wealth shall we gain,

we shall fill our houses with booty;

14Cast in your lot with us,

we shall all have one purse!”

15My son, do not walk in the way with them,

hold back your foot from their path!

16[For their feet run to evil,

they hasten to shed blood.^c]

17In vain a net is spread^*

right under the eyes of any bird—

18They lie in wait for their own blood,

they set a trap for their own lives.

19This is the way of everyone greedy for loot:

it takes away their lives.
