If they say, “Come with us,
Let us lie in wait for blood,
Let us ambush the innocent without cause;

But they lie in wait for their own blood;
They ambush their own lives.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
When you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

How long will you lie down, O sluggard?
When will you arise from your sleep?

The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
But the mouth of the upright will deliver them.

A trustworthy witness will not lie,
But a false witness utters lies.

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the Lord,
How much more the hearts of men!

Do not lie in wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous;
Do not destroy his resting place;

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
But those who keep the law strive with them.

He who keeps the law is a discerning son,
But he who is a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.

He who turns away his ear from listening to the law,
Even his prayer is an abomination.

Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained,
But happy is he who keeps the law.

A man’s pride will bring him low,
But a humble spirit will obtain honor.
