And, my discourse, and what I proclaimed, were not in suasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of Spirit and power:

When there shall arise in thy midst - a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, - and he shall give unto thee a sign or a wonder;

This I say, in order that, no one, may be reasoning, you, aside with plausible discourse;

When thy brother - son of thine own mother or thine own son or thine own daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend who is as thine own soul, shall entice thee secretly, saying, - Let us go and serve other gods, whom thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;

My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent.

A ruthless man, enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him in a way, not good.

He that misguideth the upright into a hurtful way! into his own pit, he himself, shall fall, but, men of integrity, shall inherit good.

For, great swelling words of vanity, uttering, they entice with carnal covetings - in wanton ways - them who are, well-nigh, escaping from the men who, in error, have their behaviour;

My son, if sinners entice thee, do not consent. If they say - Come with us, - Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us watch in secret for him who is needlessly innocent; Let us engulf them, like hades, alive, While in health, like them who are going down to the pit;read more.
All costly substance, shall we find, We shall fill our houses with spoil; Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all.
