10 My son, if sinners sentice you,
do not consent.
11 If they say, “Come with us, let us tlie in wait for blood;
let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12 like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
and whole, like uthose who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 vmy son, do not wwalk in the way with them;
xhold back your foot from their paths,
16 for ytheir feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men lie in wait for their own blood;
they set an ambush for their own lives.
19 Such are the ways of everyone who is zgreedy for unjust gain;
it takes away the life of its possessors.
20 rWhoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
