- If they say, "Come with us, Let us lie in wait for blood, Let us ambush the innocent without cause;
- Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, Even whole, as those who go down to the pit;
- We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with spoil;
- Throw in your lot with us, We shall all have one purse,"
- My son, do not walk in the way with them Keep your feet from their path,

- If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul;
- let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
- we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;
- throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"-
- my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;
