8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction;don’t neglect your mother’s teaching;
9 for they are a graceful wreath on your head,and beads for your neck.
10 My son, don’t let sinners entice you.Don’t go
11 when they say:"Come with us.Let’s set up a deadly ambush.Let’s secretly wait for the innocent just for fun.
12 Let’s swallow up the living like the grave—whole, like those who go down into the pit.
13 We’ll find all sorts of precious wealth;we’ll fill our houses with plunder.
14 Throw in your lot with us;we’ll share our money."
