Proverbs 1:10-19
International Children’s Bible
10 My child, sinners will try to lead you into sin.
But do not follow them.
11 They might say, “Come with us.
Let’s ambush and kill someone.
Let’s attack some harmless person just for fun.
12 Let’s swallow them alive, as death does.
Let’s swallow them whole, as the grave does.
13 We will take all kinds of valuable things.
We will fill our houses with what we steal.
14 Come join us,
and we will share with you what we steal.”
15 My child, do not go along with them.
Do not do what they do.
16 They run to do evil.
They are quick to kill.
17 It is useless to spread out a net
right where the birds can see it!
18 These men are setting their own trap.
They will only catch themselves!
19 All greedy people end up this way.
Greed takes away the life of the greedy person.
Proverbs 16:29
International Children’s Bible
29 A cruel man tricks his neighbor.
He leads him to do wrong.
Proverbs 25:26
International Children’s Bible
26 A good person who gives in to evil
is like a muddy spring or a dirty well.
Proverbs 27:3
International Children’s Bible
3 Stone is heavy, and sand is hard to carry.
But the complaining of a foolish person causes more trouble than either.
Proverbs 28:10
International Children’s Bible
10 Those who lead honest people to do wrong
will be ruined by their own evil.
But the innocent will be rewarded with good things.
