Proverbs 1:8-16

Proverbs 1:8-16 CSB

Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,  for they will be a garland  of favor on your head and pendants  around your neck.  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.
