Lecture Against Gang Behavior

Lecture Against Gang Behavior

8 [fn] your father’s instruction, and do not reject your mother’s teachings,
9 are a garland of favor for your head, and pendants for your neck.

10 

11  “Come with us!
We shall lie in wait for blood;
we shall ambush the innocent without cause.[fn]
12 [fn] we will swallow them alive and whole,[fn]
13  we shall fill our houses with booty,
14  there will be one purse for all of us.”
15 [fn] Keep your foot from their paths,
16  and they hurry to shed blood,
17 [fn] is the net scattered, in the sight of any[fn]
18 own blood. They ambush their own lives.
19 for gain— it will take the life of its possessors.
