Proverbs 1:8-19

CAB(i) 8 Hear, my son, the instruction of your father, and reject not the rules of your mother. 9 For you shall receive a crown of grace for your head, and a chain of gold around your neck. 10 My son, let not ungodly men lead you astray, neither shall you consent to them. 11 If they should exhort you, saying, Come with us, partake in blood, and let us unjustly hide the just man in the earth: 12 and let us swallow him alive, as Hades would, and remove the memorial of him from the earth: 13 let us seize on his valuable property, and let us fill our houses with spoils: 14 but cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch: 15 go not in the way with them, let your foot turn aside from their paths: 16 (TEXT OMITTED) 17 for nets are not spread for the birds without cause. 18 For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil. 19 These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.
