Proverbs 1:10-19

CLV(i) 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not comply with them;" 11 If they say, Do walk with us, Let us wait in ambush for blood, Let us lurk gratuitously for the innocent, 12 Like the unseen, we shall swallow them up alive, And robust like those descending to a crypt, 13 All precious wealth shall we find, We shall fill our houses with loot, 14 Let your lot be cast in our midst, There shall be one purse for us all, 15 My son, do not walk in the way with them; Withhold your foot from their track." 16 For their feet run to evil, And they hasten to shed blood." 17 For gratuitously is the net tossed Before the eyes of all the possessors of wings. 18 Yet they themselves wait in ambush for their own blood; They lurk for their own souls. 19 Such is the end of all who are greedy for gain; It takes away the soul of its possessors.
