¹⁹ As righteousness leads to ^(A)life,
So he who pursues evil pursues it to his own ^(B)death.

³⁶ But he who sins against me ^(A)wrongs his own soul;
All those who hate me love death.”

²² Immediately he went after her, as an ox goes to the slaughter,
Or ^[a]as a fool to the correction of the ^[b]stocks,
²³ Till an arrow struck his liver.
^(A)As a bird hastens to the snare,
He did not know it ^[c]would cost his life.

^16 (A)For their feet run to evil,
And they make haste to shed blood.
¹⁷ Surely, in ^[a]vain the net is spread
In the sight of any ^[b]bird;
¹⁸ But they lie in wait for their own blood,
They lurk secretly for their own lives.
^19 (B)So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
It takes away the life of its owners.
