Proverbs 1:10-19

10 My son, if sinners ^hentice you,
do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, ⁱlet us lie in wait for blood;
^jlet us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us ^kswallow them alive,
and whole, like ^lthose who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son, ^mdo not walk in the way with them;
ⁿhold back your foot from their paths,
16 for ^otheir feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 ^pFor in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men ^qlie in wait for their own blood;
they ^rset an ambush for their own lives.
19 ^sSuch are the ways of everyone who is ^tgreedy for unjust gain;
^uit takes away the life of its possessors.

14 ^vDo not enter the path of the wicked,
and do not walk in the way of the evil.

16 For they ^wcannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.
17 For they eat the bread of wickedness
^xand drink the wine of violence.

but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

17 Therefore ^acgo out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
