Proverbs 1:10-14

The Enticement of Sinners

10 My son, if sinners l entice you,
do not consent.
11 If they say, "Come with us, m let us lie in wait for blood;
n let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us o swallow them alive,
and whole, like p those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse" -
