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.
23Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech.
24Since I called, and you° did not listen; and I spoke at length, and you° gave no heed;
25but you° set at nothing my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs;
26therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against you when ruin comes upon you:
27yes when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and your overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
28For it shall be that when you° call upon me, I will not listen to you: wicked men shall seek me, but shall not find me.
29For they hated wisdom, and did not choose the word of the Lord:
30neither would they attend to my counsels, but derided my reproofs.
31Therefore shall they eat the fruits of their own way, and shall be filled with their own ungodliness.
32For because they wronged the simple, they shall be slain; and an inquisition shall ruin the ungodly.
33But he that hearkens to me shall dwell in confidence, and shall rest securely from all evil.
