10My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.
11If they say, “Come with us. Let’s lie in wait for blood. Let’s lurk secretly for the innocent without cause.
12Let’s swallow them up alive like Sheol, and whole, like those who go down into the pit.
13We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.
14You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse”—
15my son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,
16for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.
17For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird;
18but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
20Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
21She calls at the head of noisy places. At the entrance of the city gates, she utters her words:
22“How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? How long will mockers delight themselves in mockery, and fools hate knowledge?
23Turn at my reproof. Behold, I will pour out my spirit on you. I will make known my words to you.
24Because I have called, and you have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no one has paid attention;
25but you have ignored all my counsel, and wanted none of my reproof;
26I also will laugh at your disaster. I will mock when calamity overtakes you,
27when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when your disaster comes on like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come on you.
