Proverbs
Chapters 1:8-14
New International Version Anglicized
8Listen, my son, to your father’s instructionand do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
9They are a garland to grace your headand a chain to adorn your neck.
10My son, if sinful men entice you,do not give in to them.
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’ –
