Proverbs 1:10-19

Revised Standard Version RSV

10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

11 If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us wantonly ambush the innocent;

12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit;

13 we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with spoil;

14 throw in your lot among us, we will all have one purse" --

15 my son, do not walk in the way with them, hold back your foot from their paths;

16 for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.

17 For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird;

18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they set an ambush for their own lives.

19 Such are the ways of all who get gain by violence; it takes away the life of its possessors.

New International Version NIV

10 My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them.

11 If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;

12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;

13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;

14 cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”—

15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;

16 for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.

17 How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!

18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!

19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
