Proverbs 1:15-19

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
My son, do not walk on the road with them;
Keep your foot [far] away from their path,
¹⁶ 
For their feet run to evil,
And they hurry to shed blood.
¹⁷ 
Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net
In the sight of any bird;
¹⁸ 
But [when these people set a trap for others] they lie in wait for their own blood;
They set an ambush for their own lives [and rush to their destruction].
¹⁹ 
So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain;
Greed takes away the lives of its possessors.^(A)
