^{10 Ref} My son, if sinners would take you out of the right way, do not go with them.

^{11 Ref} If they say, Come with us; let us make designs against the good, waiting secretly for the upright, without cause;

^{12 Ref} Let us overcome them living, like the underworld, and in their strength, as those who go down to death;

^{13 Ref} Goods of great price will be ours, our houses will be full of wealth;

¹⁴ Take your chance with us, and we will all have one money-bag:

^{15 Ref} My son, do not go with them; keep your feet from their ways:

^{16 Ref} For their feet are running after evil, and they are quick to take a man's life.

^{17 Ref} Truly, to no purpose is the net stretched out before the eyes of the bird:

^{18 Ref} And they are secretly waiting for their blood and making ready destruction for themselves.

^{19 Ref} Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.
