In context
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.'
