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.
19Such are the ways of every one greedy of unjust gain; It taketh away the life of the possessor thereof.
20Wisdom crieth out in the highway; In the market-place she uttereth her voice;
21At the head of the noisy streets she crieth aloud; At the entrances of the gates, throughout the city, she proclaimeth her words saying:
22How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? How long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
23Turn ye at my reproof! Behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make known my words to you!
24“Because I have called, and ye have refused,—Because I have stretched out my hand, and no one hath regarded.
