Proverbs 1:12-18

¹²Let us swallow them up alive, like the underworld, Yea, in full health, as those that go down into the pit;

¹³We shall find all kinds of precious substance, We shall fill our houses with spoil;

¹⁴Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse;”—

¹⁵My son, walk thou not in their way, Refrain thy foot from their path!

¹⁶For their feet run to evil, And make haste to shed blood.

¹⁷For as the net is spread in vain Before the eyes of any bird,

¹⁸So they lie in wait for their own blood; They lurk secretly for their own lives.
