12 let’s swallow them alive, like the grave,and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13 we will get all sorts of valuable thingsand fill our houses with plunder;
14 cast lots with us;we will all share the loot’ –
15 my son, do not go along with them,do not set foot on their paths;
16 for their feet rush into evil,they are swift to shed blood.
17 How useless to spread a netwhere every bird can see it!
18 These men lie in wait for their own blood;they ambush only themselves!
