Proverbs 1:9-15

⁹They are a wreath of grace to decorate your head; they are pendants for your neck.

¹⁰My son, if evil people try to tempt you, don't give into them.

¹¹They may tell you, “Come with us. Let's go and hide, ready to kill someone. Let's ambush someone for fun!

¹²Let's bury them alive; let's put them in the grave while they're still healthy!

¹³We'll take from them all kinds of valuable things and fill our homes with the stuff we steal!

¹⁴Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”

¹⁵My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.
