¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
¹¹ If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
¹² let us swallow them up alive as the grave;
and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
¹³ we shall find all precious substance,
we shall fill our houses with spoil:
¹⁴ cast in thy lot among us;
let us all have one purse:
¹⁵ my son, walk not thou in the way with them;
refrain thy foot from their path:
¹⁶ for their feet run to evil,
and make haste to shed blood.
¹⁷ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
¹⁸ And they lay wait for their own blood;
they lurk privily for their own lives.
¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain;
which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour,
    and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

²⁶ A righteous man falling down before the wicked
is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

³ A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty;
but a fool’s wrath is heavier than them both.

¹⁰ Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way,
he shall fall himself into his own pit:
but the upright shall have good things in possession.
