Proverbs 1:10 - 1:19

10
My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not be willing.
11
If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait for blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;
12
Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
And whole, as those who go down to the pit;
13
We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
We will fill our houses with spoil;
14
Cast in your lot with us,
We shall all have one purse,”
15
My son, do not walk in the way with them.
Withhold your feet from their pathway,
16
For their feet run to evil
And they hasten to shed blood.
17
For it is no use that a net is spread
In the sight of any bird;
18
But they lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.
19
So are the paths of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its possessors.

Proverbs 16:29

29
A man of violence entices his neighbor
And leads him in a way that is not good.

Proverbs 25:26

26
Like a muddied spring and a corrupted well
Is a righteous man shaking before the wicked.

Proverbs 27:3

3
A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of an ignorant fool is heavier than both of them.

Proverbs 28:10

10
He who leads the upright astray in an evil way
Will himself fall into his own pit,
But the blameless will inherit good.
