Proverbs

⁸My son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother: ⁹For they shall be a chaplet of grace unto thy head, And chains about thy neck. ¹⁰My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not. ¹¹If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause; ¹²Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit; ¹³We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil; ¹⁴Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:
