Proverbs 1:10-19
New King James Version
10 My son, if sinners entice you,
(A)Do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us (B)lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
12 Let us swallow them alive like [a]Sheol,
And whole, (C)like those who go down to the Pit;
13 We shall find all kinds of precious [b]possessions,
We shall fill our houses with [c]spoil;
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, (D)do not walk in the way with them,
(E)Keep your foot from their path;
16 (F)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely, in [d]vain the net is spread
In the sight of any [e]bird;
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 (G)So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.

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)
