Proverbs 1:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 1:10

8 ^aMy son, hear the instruction of your father,
And do not forsake the law of your mother;

9 For they will be a ^agraceful ornament on your head,
And chains about your neck.

10 My son, if sinners entice you,
^aDo not consent.

11 If they say, “Come with us,
Let us ^alie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;

12 Let us swallow them alive like¹ Sheol,
And whole, ^alike those who go down to the Pit;

13 We shall find all kinds of precious¹ possessions,
We shall fill our houses with¹ spoil;

14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—

15 My son, ^ado not walk in the way with them,
^bKeep your foot from their path;

16 ^aFor their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.

17 Surely, in¹ vain the net is spread
In the sight of any¹ bird;
