14 Cast in your lot with us,we shall all have one purse!”
15 My son, do not walk in the way with them,hold back your foot from their path!
16 [For their feet run to evil,they hasten to shed blood.]
17 In vain a net is spreadright under the eyes of any bird—
18 They lie in wait for their own blood,they set a trap for their own lives.
19 This is the way of everyone greedy for loot:it takes away their lives.
20 Wisdom cries aloud in the street,in the open squares she raises her voice;
