Proverbs 1:12-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. “Let us swallow them alive like the grave, And entirely, like those going down to the pit.

13. “Let us find all precious goods, Let us fill our houses with spoil.

14. “Cast in your lot among us, Let us all have one purse,”

15. My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path;

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

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

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

19. Such are the ways of everyone greedy for gain; It takes away the life of its owners.
