Proverbs 1:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Proverbs 1.
8 Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and do not forsake the teaching of your mother.
9 For they are a garland of grace on your head and a pendant around your neck.
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not yield to them.
11 If they say, “Come along, let us lie in wait for blood, let us ambush the innocent without cause,
12 let us swallow them alive like Sheol, and whole like those descending into the Pit.
13 We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
14 Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
15 my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16 For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
