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

^16 (A)For they do not sleep unless they have done evil;
And their sleep is ^[a]taken away unless they make someone fall.

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.

^4 (A)He devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself ^(B)in a way that is not good;
He does not ^[a]abhor ^(C)evil.

^14 (A)The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
^15 (B)The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
^(C)Saying, ‘No eye will see me’;
And he ^[a]disguises his face.
¹⁶ In the dark they break into houses
Which they marked for themselves in the daytime;
^(D)They do not know the light.
¹⁷ For the morning is the same to them as the shadow of death;
If someone recognizes them,
They are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
