Proverbs 1:10-19
Legacy Standard Bible
10 My son, if sinners (A)entice you,
(B)Do not be willing.
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us (C)lie in wait for blood,
Let us (D)ambush the innocent without cause;
12 Let us (E)swallow them alive like Sheol,
And whole, as those who (F)go down to the pit;
13 We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
We will fill our houses with spoil;
14 Cast in your lot [a]with us,
We shall all have one purse,”
15 My son, (G)do not walk in the way with them.
(H)Withhold your feet from their pathway,
16 For (I)their feet run to evil
And they hasten to shed blood.
17 For it is [b]no use that a net is spread
In the sight of any [c]bird;
18 But they (J)lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own [d]lives.
19 So are the paths of everyone who is (K)greedy for gain;
It takes away the [e]life of its possessors.

New International Version
10 My son, if sinful men entice(A) you,
do not give in(B) to them.(C)
11 If they say, “Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait(D) for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow(E) them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;(F)
13 we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot(G)”—
15 my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot(H) on their paths;(I)
16 for their feet rush into evil,(J)
they are swift to shed blood.(K)
17 How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait(L) for their own blood;
they ambush only themselves!(M)
19 Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain;
it takes away the life of those who get it.(N)
