Proverbs 1:13-20 World English Bible (WEB)

13. We’ll find all valuable wealth. We’ll fill our houses with plunder.

14. You shall cast your lot among us. We’ll all have one purse.”

15. My son, don’t walk on the path with them. Keep your foot from their path,

16. for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

17. For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:

18. but these lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives.

19. So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

20. Wisdom calls aloud in the street. She utters her voice in the public squares.
