Proverbs 1 — Context

10

My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.

11

If they say, "Come with us, Let's lay in wait for blood; let's lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

12

let's swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.

13

We'll find all valuable wealth. We'll fill our houses with spoil.

14

You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse."

15

My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path,

16

for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
