    1AND if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

    11If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:

    12Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:

    13We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:

    14Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:

    15My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:

    16For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

    17Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

    18And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.

    19So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

    Open

    18When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers.

    19Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit.

    20Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother’s son.

    21These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

    22Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
