¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

¹¹ If they say, “Come with us; let us lie in 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 to the pit;

¹³ we shall find much 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; restrain 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 lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

¹⁹ So are the ways of every one that is greedy for gain, which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbor 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 shall himself fall into his own pit, but the upright shall possess good things.
