Proverbs 1:11-20 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

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

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 eyes 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.

20. Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; she uttereth her voice in the broad places;
