The warning to young people

1:7 The warning to young people

7Deciding to obey Yahweh is the beginning of knowledge.

Fools despise wisdom and being told what they should do.[ref]

8My child, listen to your father’s instructions.

Don’t reject what your mother has told you to do,

9because their teaching is like a graceful garland to wear on your head,

or like beautiful necklaces to wear around your neck.

10My child, if evil people tempt you to join them, don’t agree to it. 11If they say,

“Come with us. We’ll find someone to kill

we’ll hide and ambush an innocent person just for fun.

12Let’s swallow innocent people just like the grave does,

and healthy people just like those going down to the pit.

13We’ll find lots of valuable loot.

We’ll fill our houses with what we take.

14You need to come and join us—

we share everything equally.”

15My child, don’t follow their ways.

Keep your foot away from their path

16because their feet run towards evil,

and they rush to pour out blood.

17Surely it would be a waste of time

to spread out a net while the bird is watching,

18but they lie in wait for their own blood

they ambush their own lives.

19That’s what happens to anyone who gains wealth illegally

it takes that person’s life.


1:7: Yob 28:28; Psa 111:10; Prv 9:10.
