Proverbs 1:12-19 American Standard Version (ASV)

12. Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;

13. We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;

14. Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:

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

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

17. For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:

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

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