Proverbs 1:8-15

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

⁹for they shall be a garland of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.

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

¹¹If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

¹²let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, and whole, as those that go down into the pit;

¹³we shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

¹⁴cast in thy lot among us; we will all have one purse:

¹⁵— my son, walk not in the way with them, keep back thy foot from their path;
