- My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.
 - If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul;
 - let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
 - we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;
 - throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"-
   | 
- My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
 - If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
 - Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
 - We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
 - Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
   | 
  
- my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;
 - for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood.
 - How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds!
 - These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!
 - Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.
   | 
- My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
 - For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
 - Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
 - And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
 - So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
