Proverbs 1:10-19
English Standard Version
10 My son, if sinners (A)entice you,
do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, (B)let us lie in wait for blood;
(C)let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us (D)swallow them alive,
and whole, like (E)those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son, (F)do not walk in the way with them;
(G)hold back your foot from their paths,
16 for (H)their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 (I)For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men (J)lie in wait for their own blood;
they (K)set an ambush for their own lives.
19 (L)Such are the ways of everyone who is (M)greedy for unjust gain;
(N)it takes away the life of its possessors.
Proverbs 1:10-19
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)
