Proverbs 1:8-17
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;
13
We will find all
kinds
of precious wealth,
We will fill our houses with plunder;
14
Throw in your lot with us;
We will all have one money bag,'
15
My son, do not walk on the way with them.
Keep your feet from their path,
16
For their feet run to evil,
And they are quick to shed blood.
17
Indeed, it is useless to spread the
baited
net
In the sight of any bird;
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:
13
We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14
Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15
My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16
For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17
Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
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.
13
We’ll find all kinds of valuable property
and fill our houses with plunder.
14
Throw in your lot with us,
and we’ll all share the loot" —
15
my son, don’t travel that road with them
or set foot on their path,
16
because their feet run toward evil
and they hurry to shed blood.
17
It is useless to spread a net
where any bird can see it,
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.
13
Think of the great things we’ll get!
We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.
14
Come, throw in your lot with us;
we’ll all share the loot.'
15
My child, don’t go along with them!
Stay far away from their paths.
16
They rush to commit evil deeds.
They hurry to commit murder.
17
If a bird sees a trap being set,
it knows to stay away.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
8
Hear, my son, your father 's instruction,
and forsake not your mother 's teaching,
9
for they are a graceful garland for your head
and pendants for your neck.
10
My son, if sinners entice you,
do not consent.
11
If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
let us ambush the innocent without reason;
12
like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13
we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14
throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse" —
15
my son, do not walk in the way with them;
hold back your foot from their paths,
16
for their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17
For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
New International Version
Chapter 1
8
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction
and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.
9
They are a garland to grace your head
and a chain to adorn your neck.
10
My son, if sinful men entice you,
do not give in to them.
11
If they say, "Come along with us;
let’s lie in wait for innocent blood,
let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12
let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13
we will get all sorts of valuable things
and fill our houses with plunder;
14
cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot"—
15
my son, do not go along with them,
do not set foot on their paths;
16
for their feet rush into evil,
they are swift to shed blood.
17
How useless to spread a net
where every bird can see it!
New King James Version

We shall find all
kinds
of precious possessions,
We shall fill our houses with spoil;

Let us all have one purse”—
15
My son, do not walk in the way with them,
Keep your foot from their path;
16
For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.

Surely, in vain the net is spread
In the sight of any bird;
