Proverbs 1:8 - The Message

Pay close attention, friend, to what your father tells you;
   never forget what you learned at your mother’s knee.
Wear their counsel like flowers in your hair,
   like rings on your fingers.
Dear friend, if bad companions tempt you,
   don’t go along with them.
If they say—"Let’s go out and raise some hell.
   Let’s beat up some old man, mug some old woman.
Let’s pick them clean
   and get them ready for their funerals.
We’ll load up on top-quality loot.
   We’ll haul it home by the truckload.
Join us for the time of your life!
   With us, it’s share and share alike!"—
Oh, friend, don’t give them a second look;
   don’t listen to them for a minute.
They’re racing to a very bad end,
   hurrying to ruin everything they lay hands on.
Nobody robs a bank
   with everyone watching,
Yet that’s what these people are doing—
   they’re doing themselves in.
When you grab all you can get, that’s what happens:
   the more you get, the less you are.
