Proverbs 1:14-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

14. Cast in your lot with us,we shall all have one purse!”

15. My son, do not walk in the way with them,hold back your foot from their path!

16. [For their feet run to evil,they hasten to shed blood.]

17. In vain a net is spreadright under the eyes of any bird—

18. They lie in wait for their own blood,they set a trap for their own lives.

19. This is the way of everyone greedy for loot:it takes away their lives.
