The Enticement of Sinners
8
1
Hear
, my
son
, your
father's
instruction
And
2
do not
forsake
your
mother's
teaching
;
9
Indeed
, they are a
3
graceful
wreath
to your
head
And
[a]
4
ornaments
about your
neck
.
10
My
son
,
if
sinners
5
entice
you,
6
Do not
consent
.
11
If
they
say
,
"Come
with us, Let us
7
lie
in
wait
for
blood
, Let us
8
ambush
the
innocent
without
cause
;
12
Let us
9
swallow
them
alive
like
Sheol
, Even
whole
, as those who
10
go
down
to the
pit
;
13
We will
find
all
kinds of
precious
wealth
, We will
fill
our
houses
with
spoil
;
14
Throw
in your
lot
[b]
with us, We shall
all
have
one
purse
,"
15
My
son
,
11
do not
walk
in the
way
with them.
12
Keep
your
feet
from their
path
,
16
For
13
their
feet
run
to
evil
And they
hasten
to
shed
blood
.
17
Indeed
, it is
[c]
useless
to
spread
the baited
net
In the
sight
of
any
[d]
bird
*
;
18
But they
14
lie
in
wait
for their own
blood
; They
ambush
their own
lives
.
19
So
are the
ways
of
everyone
who
15
gains
by
violence
; It
takes
away the
life
of its
possessors
.
