Proverbs 1:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ But sinners will ·fall into their own traps [^Lset up a deadly ambush];
    they ·will only catch [^Llie in wait for] themselves!
¹⁹ All greedy people end up this way;
    ·greed kills selfish people [^Lthey take their own lives].

²⁰ Wisdom [^Cthe personification of God’s wisdom; 8:1–36; 9:1–6] ·is like a woman shouting [^Lshouts] in the street;
    she ·raises her voice [yells out] in the city squares [^Cthe hub for business, government, and social interaction].
