1:10 My child, if sinners 1 try to entice 2 you,
do not consent! 3
1:11 If they say, “Come with us!
We will 4 lie in wait 5 to shed blood; 6
we will ambush 7 an innocent person 8 capriciously. 9
1:12 We will swallow them alive 10 like Sheol, 11
those full of vigor 12 like those going down to the Pit.
1:13 We will seize 13 all kinds 14 of precious wealth;
we will fill our houses with plunder. 15
1:14 Join with us! 16
We will all share 17 equally in what we steal.” 18
1:15 My child, do not go down 19 their way, 20
withhold yourself 21 from their path; 22
1:16 for they 23 are eager 24 to inflict harm, 25
and they hasten 26 to shed blood. 27
