Proverbs 1:8-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
8
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
And do not ignore your mother’s teaching;
9
For they are a graceful wreath for your head
And necklaces for your neck.
10
My son, if sinners entice you,
Do not consent.
11
If they say, 'Come with us,
Let’s lie in wait for blood,
Let’s ambush the innocent without cause;
12
Let’s swallow them alive like Sheol,
Even whole, like those who go down to the pit;
King James Version
Chapter 1
8
My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9
For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck.
10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
8
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction,
and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,
9
for they will be a garland of favor on your head
and pendants around your neck.
10
My son, if sinners entice you,
don’t be persuaded.
11
If they say—"Come with us!
Let’s set an ambush and kill someone.
Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!
12
Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol,
whole, like those who go down to the Pit.
New Living Translation
Chapter 1
8
My child, listen when your father corrects you.
Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.
9
What you learn from them will crown you with grace
and be a chain of honor around your neck.
10
My child, if sinners entice you,
turn your back on them!
11
They may say, 'Come and join us.
Let’s hide and kill someone!
Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!
12
Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave ;
let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.
English Standard Version
