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. ‡

19 ^aSo are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners. ‡

20 ^aWisdom calls aloud¹ outside;
She raises her voice in the open squares. ‡
