Proverbs 1:8-12 New International Version (NIV)

8. Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.

9. They are a garland to grace your head and 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;
