My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. If they say, "Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;
like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole like those who go down to the pit; we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder; throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse"-
my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back hour foot from their paths, for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.
Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain;
it takes away the life of its possessors. - Proverbs 1:10-19 (ESV)
We know that anyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning. - 1 John 5:18 (ESV)
If you're guilty of anything, it's time to get nervous.
Help find the predators who won't leave little kids be.
Let's catch 'em, lock 'em up and throw away the keys.
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. - 5:19 (ESV)
