  1. My son, if sinners entice you,
    Do not consent.

  2. If they say, “Come with us,
    Let us lie in wait for blood,
    Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

  3. Let us swallow them alive like Sheol,
    Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;

  4. We will find all kinds of precious wealth,
    We will fill our houses with spoil;

  5. Throw in your lot with us,
    We shall all have one purse,”

  6. My son, do not walk in the way with them.
    Keep your feet from their path,

  7. For their feet run to evil
    And they hasten to shed blood.

  8. Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net
    In the sight of any bird;

  9. But they lie in wait for their own blood;
    They ambush their own lives.

  10. So are the ways of everyone who gains by violence;
    It takes away the life of its possessors. – Proverbs 1:10-19

  1. Hijo mío, si los pecadores te quieren seducir,
    No consientas.

  2. Si dicen: «Ven con nosotros,
    Pongámonos al acecho para derramar sangre,
    Sin causa asechemos al inocente,

  3. Devorémoslos vivos como el Seol,
    Enteros, como los que descienden al abismo;

  4. Hallaremos toda clase de preciadas riquezas,
    Llenaremos nuestras casas de botín;

  5. Echa tu suerte con nosotros,
    Todos tendremos una bolsa»,

  6. Hijo mío, no andes en el camino con ellos.
    Aparta tu pie de su senda,

  7. Porque sus pies corren hacia el mal,
    Y se apresuran a derramar sangre.

  8. Porque es en vano tender la red
    Ante los ojos de cualquier ave;

  9. Pero ellos a su propia sangre asechan,
    Tienden lazo a sus propias vidas.

  10. Tales son los caminos de todo el que se beneficia por la violencia:
    Que quita la vida de sus poseedores. – Proverbios 1:10-19
