¹⁵ “Their^(A) feet are swift to shed blood;

²⁴ By your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And said, ‘By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
²⁵ I have dug and drunk water,
And with the soles of my feet I have dried up
All the brooks of ^[a]defense.’

²⁹ Do not devise evil against your neighbor,
For he dwells by you for safety’s sake.
^30 (A)Do not strive with a man without cause,
If he has done you no harm.

¹¹ If they say, “Come with us,
Let us ^(A)lie in wait to shed blood;
Let us lurk secretly for the innocent without cause;
¹² Let us swallow them alive like ^[a]Sheol,
And whole, ^(B)like those who go down to the Pit;
¹³ We shall find all kinds of precious ^[b]possessions,
We shall fill our houses with ^[c]spoil;
¹⁴ Cast in your lot among us,
Let us all have one purse”—
¹⁵ My son, ^(C)do not walk in the way with them,
^(D)Keep your foot from their path;
^16 (E)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.

⁹ He lies in wait secretly, as a lion in his den;
He lies in wait to catch the poor;
He catches the poor when he draws him into his net.
