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.

10 My son, don’t let sinners entice you.
    Don’t go
11     when they say:
        “Come with us.
        Let’s set up a deadly ambush.
        Let’s secretly wait for the innocent just for fun.
12         Let’s swallow up the living like the grave[a]
        whole, like those who go down into the pit.
13         We’ll find all sorts of precious wealth;
        we’ll fill our houses with plunder.
14         Throw in your lot with us;
        we’ll share our money.”
15 My son, don’t go on the path with them;
    keep your feet from their way,
16     because their feet run to evil;
            they hurry to spill blood.
17 It’s useless to cast a net
    in the sight of a bird.
18 But these sinners set up a deadly ambush;
    they lie in wait for their own lives.
19 These are the ways of all who seek unjust gain;
    it costs them their lives.
