Proverbs 1:14-22

¹⁴but do you cast in your lot with us, and let us all provide a common purse, and let us have one pouch:

¹⁵go not in the way with them, but turn aside your foot from their paths:

¹⁶For their feet run to do evil, and are swift to shed blood.

¹⁷for nets are not without cause spread for birds.

¹⁸For they that are concerned in murder store up evils for themselves; and the overthrow of transgressors is evil.

¹⁹These are the ways of all that perform lawless deeds; for by ungodliness they destroy their own life.

²⁰Wisdom sings aloud in passages, and in the broad places speaks boldly.

²¹And she makes proclamation on the top of the walls, and sits by the gates of princes; and at the gates of the city boldly says,

²²So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and are become subject to reproofs.
