8Hear, my son, your father's discipline, and do not forsake your mother's instruction.9For they are a wreath of favor to your head and necklaces to your neck.10My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent.11If they say, "Come with us; let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without cause,"12Let us swallow them alive like Sheol and whole like those going down to the pit.13We shall find all precious substance; we shall fill our houses with spoil.14Cast your allotted portion among us; one purse shall be for us all.15My son, do not walk in the way with them; keep your foot from their path.16For their feet run toward evil, and they hurry to shed blood.17For in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.18They lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.19So are the ways of all who gain unjust gain; it takes the life of its master.
