8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instructionand do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
9 They are a garland to grace your headand a chain to adorn your neck.
10 My son, if sinful men entice you,do not give in to them.
11 If they say, ‘Come along with us;let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable thingsand fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;we will all share the loot’ –
