Proverbs
Chapters 1:11-17
New International Version Anglicized
11If they say, ‘Come along with us;let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13we will get all sorts of valuable thingsand fill our houses with plunder;
14cast lots with us;we will all share the loot’ –
15my son, do not go along with them,do not set foot on their paths;
16for their feet rush into evil,they are swift to shed blood.
17How useless to spread a netwhere every bird can see it!
