Proverbs 1:10-19
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 My son, if sinners lure you,
do not go along with them.
11 If they say,
“Come with us.
Let’s lie in wait to shed blood.
Let’s hide and ambush an innocent person for no reason.
12 We will swallow them alive like the grave.
We will swallow them whole
like those who go down to the pit.
13 We will find all kinds of wealth and treasure.
We will fill our houses with loot.
14 Cast your lot with us.
We will all share one bag of money.”
15 My son, do not walk along the road with them.
Do not set foot on their path,
16 because their feet run to do evil,
and they hurry to shed blood.
17 How useless to spread a net in the sight of any bird!
18 Yet they set up an ambush for their own blood.
They hide in ambush to take their own lives.
19 This is where the path leads for everyone
who is greedy for stolen property:
It takes away the life of those who possess it.
Proverbs 16:29
Evangelical Heritage Version
29 A violent man entices his neighbor.
He leads him on a way that is not good.
Proverbs 25:26
Evangelical Heritage Version
26 A righteous person who is swayed by the wicked
is a muddied spring or a polluted fountain.
Proverbs 27:3
Evangelical Heritage Version
3 A stone is heavy and sand is a burden,
but aggravation from a stubborn fool is heavier than both.
Proverbs 28:10
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 A person who leads the upright along an evil way
will fall into his own pit,
but people of integrity will inherit good.
