Proverbs 1:10-19

10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

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

11 If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

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

12 We swallow them as Sheol -- alive, And whole -- as those going down [to] the pit,

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

13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil,

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

14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is -- to all of us.'

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

15 My son! go not in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path,

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

16 For their feet to evil do run, And they haste to shed blood.

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

17 Surely in vain is the net spread out before the eyes of any bird.

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

18 And they for their own blood lay wait, They watch secretly for their own lives.

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

19 So [are] the paths of every gainer of dishonest gain, The life of its owners it taketh.

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