12We will kill them HYP and get rid of them completely, just like people who are buried in graves are gone forever. While they are in good health, we will send them to the place where dead people are.
13And we will seize all the things that they own. We will fill our houses with these things!
14So, come with us! Join our group! We will share with you the things that we steal.”
15My son, do not accompany them! Do not walk on the roads with them!
16They rush to do evil deeds! They hurry to murder MTY people.
17It is useless to put out a ◄trap/net to catch a bird► because when a bird sees it, it stays away from it.
18But those wicked people are not like the birds, because they do not realize that when they prepare to ambush someone to kill him, they will be killed themselves!
19That is what happens to people who eagerly try to get things by violently attacking others. They will only destroy themselves!
20Wisdom PRS shouts to people in the streets, and calls out to people in the ◄plazas/town squares►.
21Wisdom calls out in noisy places, and at the entrances to cities.
22Wisdom says, “How long will you stupid people continue to enjoy doing foolish things RHQ? How long will you people who ridicule God enjoy doing that RHQ? How long will you foolish people refuse to know what things are right RHQ?
23If you pay attention to me when I rebuke you, I will tell you what I am thinking in my inner being; I will give you some good advice.
