and whole, like (D)those who go down to the pit;
13 we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
14 throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—
15 my son, (E)do not walk in the way with them;
(F)hold back your foot from their paths,
16 for (G)their feet run to evil,
and they make haste to shed blood.
17 (H)For in vain is a net spread
in the sight of any bird,
18 but these men (I)lie in wait for their own blood;
they (J)set an ambush for their own lives.
19 (K)Such are the ways of everyone who is (L)greedy for unjust gain;
(M)it takes away the life of its possessors.
