Proverbs 1:8-14 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

8. Hear, my son, the instruction of thy father, And leave not the law of thy mother,

9. For a graceful wreath [are] they to thy head, And chains to thy neck.

10. My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

11. If they say, `Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

12. We swallow them as Sheol--alive, And whole--as those going down [to] the pit,

13. Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses [with] spoil,

14. Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is--to all of us.'
