Proverbs 1:14
Compare all
12 Let us swallow them alive like1 Sheol,
And whole, alike those who go down to the Pit; 
13 We shall find all kinds of precious1 possessions,
We shall fill our houses with1 spoil; 
14 Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
15 My son, ado not walk in the way with them,
bKeep your foot from their path; 
16 aFor their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood. 
17 Surely, in1 vain the net is spread
In the sight of any1 bird; 
18 But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
19 aSo are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners. 

The Call of Wisdom

20 aWisdom calls aloud1 outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares. 
21 She cries out in the1 chief concourses,
At the openings of the gates in the city
She speaks her words: 
22 “How long, you1 simple ones, will you love simplicity?
For scorners delight in their scorning,
And fools hate knowledge. 
23 Turn at my rebuke;
Surely aI will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you. 
24 aBecause I have called and you refused,
I have stretched out my hand and no one regarded, 
25 Because you adisdained all my counsel,
And would have none of my rebuke, 
26 aI also will laugh at your calamity;
I will mock when your terror comes, 
27 When ayour terror comes like a storm,
And your destruction comes like a whirlwind,
When distress and anguish come upon you. 
28 “Thena they will call on me, but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently, but they will not find me. 
29 Because they ahated knowledge
And did not bchoose the fear of the Lord, 
30 aThey would have none of my counsel
And despised my every rebuke. 
31 Therefore athey shall eat the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with their own fancies. 
32 For the1 turning away of the simple will slay them,
And the complacency of fools will destroy them; 
33 But whoever listens to me will dwell asafely,
And bwill be secure, without fear of evil.”

Proverbs 1:13-14

The second form of temptation (see Proverbs 1:10 note) appeals to the main attraction of the robber-life, its wild communism, the sense of equal hazards and equal hopes.
