Proverbs 1:8-12

⁸Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, and cast not off the teaching of thy mother;

⁹For a wreath of grace are they unto thy head, and chains for thy throat.

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

¹¹If they should say, Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us watch in concealment for the uselessly innocent;

¹²We will swallow them up like the grave alive; and the men of integrity, as those that go down into the pit;
