8. Listen, my son, to the discipline of your father, and forsake not the law of your mother,
9. so that grace may be added to your head and a collar to your neck.
10. My son, if sinners should entice you, do not consent to them.
11. If they should say: "Come with us. We will lie in wait for blood. We will lay traps against the innocent, without cause.
12. Let us swallow him alive, like Hell, and whole, like one descending into the pit.
13. We will discover every precious substance. We will fill our houses with spoils.
14. Cast your lot with us. One purse will be for us all."
15. My son, do not walk with them. Preclude your feet from their paths.
16. For their feet rush to evil, and they hurry to shed blood.
17. But a net is thrown in vain before the eyes of those who have wings.
18. Likewise, they lie in ambush against their own blood, and they undertake deceits against their own souls.
19. Thus, the ways of all those who are greedy seize the souls of those who possess.
