9 For they shalbe a comely ornament vnto thine head, and as chaines for thy necke.
10 My sonne, if sinners doe intise thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with vs, we will lay waite for blood, and lie priuilie for the innocent without a cause:
12 We wil swallow them vp aliue like a graue euen whole, as those that goe downe into the pit:
13 We shall finde all precious riches, and fill our houses with spoyle:
14 Cast in thy lot among vs: we will all haue one purse:
15 My sonne, walke not thou in the way with them: refraine thy foote from their path.
