12 Let’s swallow them alive, as death does;let’s swallow them whole, as the grave does.
13 We will take all kinds of valuable thingsand fill our houses with stolen goods.
14 Come join us,and we will share with you stolen goods.”
15 My child, do not go along with them;do not do what they do.
16 They are eager to do eviland are quick to kill.
17 It is useless to spread out a netright where the birds can see it.
18 But sinners will fall into their own traps;they will only catch themselves!
