Proverbs 1:10-16

My son, if sinful men tempt you, don’t give in to them. They might say, “Come along with us. Let’s hide and wait to kill someone who hasn’t done anything wrong. Let’s catch some harmless person in our trap. Let’s swallow them alive, as the grave does. Let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down into the pit. We’ll get all kinds of valuable things. We’ll fill our houses with what we steal. Cast lots with us for what they own. We’ll share everything we take from them.” My son, don’t go along with them. Don’t even set your feet on their paths. They are always in a hurry to sin. They are quick to spill someone’s blood.
