Proverbs 1:10-19 (Bible in Basic English)
View In My Bible
10
My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.
11
If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;
12
Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death;
13
Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;
14
Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:
15
My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:
16
For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.
17
Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:
18
And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.
19
Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
