¹⁰ My son, if sinners entice you,^(A)
don’t be persuaded.^(B)
11 If they say—“Come with us!
Let’s set an ambush^(C) and kill someone.^[a]
Let’s attack some innocent person^(D) just for fun!^[b]
12 Let’s swallow them alive,^(E) like Sheol,
still healthy as they go down to the Pit.^(F)

³¹ they will eat the fruit of their way^(A)
and be glutted with their own schemes.^(B)

⁶ For a fool speaks foolishness
and his mind plots iniquity.
He lives in a godless way
and speaks falsely about the Lord.
He leaves the hungry empty
and deprives the thirsty of drink.^(A)
7 The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;
he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,
even when the poor says what is right.
⁸ But a noble person plans noble things;
he stands up for noble causes.
