Proverbs 1:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ These wicked men hide to attack someone. They are ready to kill someone, but they destroy their own lives! ¹⁹ That is what happens to those who cheat other people to become rich themselves. The riches that they have taken from others will destroy their own lives.

Wisdom warns foolish people

²⁰ Listen! Wisdom is like a woman who shouts in the streets. She speaks loudly in the market places.
