Proverbs 1:14-19

¹⁴Come and join us and we'll all share what we get!”

¹⁵My son, don't follow their ways. Don't go in that direction with them.

¹⁶For they rush to do evil; they hurry to commit violence and murder.

¹⁷There's no point in trying to lure birds into a net when they can see it.

¹⁸However, these evil people hide ready to kill others, but they themselves are the victims. They're only ambushing themselves!

¹⁹This is what happens to you if you try to become rich through crime—it kills you!
