8 Hear, my son, your father’s instruction,and reject not your mother’s teaching;
9 A graceful diadem will they be for your head;a pendant for your neck.
10 My son, should sinners entice you,
11 do not go if they say, “Come along with us!Let us lie in wait for blood,unprovoked, let us trap the innocent;
12 Let us swallow them alive, like Sheol,whole, like those who go down to the pit!
13 All kinds of precious wealth shall we gain,we shall fill our houses with booty;
14 Cast in your lot with us,we shall all have one purse!”
