10My son, if sinners entice thee, Consent thou not.
11If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;
12Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;
13We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;
14Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:
15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:
16For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.
