Proverbs 1:10-19 NIV

Proverbs 1:10-19 NIV [10] My son, if sinful men entice you, do not give in to them. [11] If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul; [12] let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; [13] we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; [14] cast lots with us; we will all share the loot”— [15] my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; [16] for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. [17] How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! [18] These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! [19] Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
