Proverbs 1:10-19 (CJB)
1:10
My son, if sinners entice you, don’t go along with them.
1:11
Suppose they say, “Come with us: we’ll ambush somebody and kill him, we’ll waylay some harmless soul, just for fun;
1:12
we’ll swallow him alive, like Sh’ol, whole, like those who descend to the pit;
1:13
we’ll find everything he has of value, we’ll fill our homes with loot!
1:14
Throw in your lot with us; we’ll share a common purse”-
1:15
my son, don’t go along with them, don’t set foot on their path;
1:16
Their feet run to evil, they rush to shed blood.
1:17
For in vain is the net baited if any bird can see it;
1:18
rather, they are ambushing themselves to shed their own blood, waylaying themselves.
1:19
So are the ways of all greedy for gain -it takes the lives of those who get it.
