13 We shall find all
kinds of precious
1 possessions,
We shall fill our houses with
1 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, in
1 vain the net is spread
In the sight of any
1 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 aloud
1 outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares.
