PROVERBS 1:9-16

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

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

¹¹If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily 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;

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

¹⁵My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

¹⁶For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
