Proverbs 1:10-19 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

10

My son, if sinners entice you, don't go along with them.

11

Suppose they say, "Come with us: we'll ambush somebody and kill him, we'll waylay some harmless soul, just for fun;

12

we'll swallow him alive, like Sh'ol, whole, like those who descend to the pit;

13

we'll find everything he has of value, we'll fill our homes with loot!

14

Throw in your lot with us; we'll share a common purse"-

15

my son, don't go along with them, don't set foot on their path;

16

Their feet run to evil, they rush to shed blood.

17

For in vain is the net baited if any bird can see it;

18

rather, they are ambushing themselves to shed their own blood, waylaying themselves.

19

So are the ways of all greedy for gain -it takes the lives of those who get it.
