Proverbs 1:8-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. My child, may you keep your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teachings,

9. for they are a garland of favor for your head, and pendants for your neck.

10. My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent.

11. If they say, “Come with us! We shall lie in wait for blood; we shall ambush the innocent without cause.

12. Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive and whole, like those who descend to the pit.
