Proverbs 1:10-19

Proverbs 1:10-19 CSB

My son, if sinners entice you,  don’t be persuaded.  If they say #— #“Come with us! Let’s set an ambush  and kill someone.  Let’s attack some innocent person  just for fun!  Let’s swallow them alive,  like Sheol, whole, like those who go down to the Pit.  We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder.  Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share the loot”   — my son, don’t travel that road with them  or set foot on their path,  because their feet run toward evil and they hurry to shed blood.  It is useless to spread a net where any bird can see it, but they set an ambush to kill themselves;  they attack their own lives. Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly;  it takes the lives of those who receive it.
