Proverbs 1

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 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.

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