Proverbs 1:8-14

⁸My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:

⁹That grace may be added to thy head, and a chain of gold to thy neck.

¹⁰My son, if sinners shall entice thee, consent not to them.

¹¹If they shall say: Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood, let us hide snares for the innocent without cause:

¹²Let us swallow him up alive like hell, and whole as one that goeth down into the pit.

¹³We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoils.

¹⁴Cast in thy lot with us, let us all have one purse.
