* If they say , Come with us , let us lay wait for blood , let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause : * Let us swallow them up alive as the grave sh @#owl #; and whole , as those that go down into the pit : * We shall find all precious substance , we shall fill our houses with spoil : * Cast in thy lot among us ; let us all have one purse : * My son , walk not thou in the way with them ; refrain thy foot from their path : * For their feet run to evil , and make haste to shed blood . * Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird #H3671 . * And they lay wait for their own blood ; they lurk privily for their own lives . * So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain ; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof . * Wisdom crieth without ; she uttereth her voice in the streets : * She crieth in the chief place of concourse , in the openings of the gates sha #ar #: in the city she uttereth her words , saying , * How long , ye simple ones , will ye love simplicity ? and the scorners delight in their scorning , and fools hate knowledge da #ath #? * Turn you at my reproof : behold , I will pour out my spirit unto you , I will make known my words unto you . * Because I have called , and ye refused ; I have stretched out my hand , and no man regarded ; * But ye have set at nought all my counsel , and would none of my reproof : * I also will laugh at your calamity ; I will mock when your fear cometh ; * When your fear cometh as desolation sha #avah #, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind ; when distress and anguish cometh upon you . * Then shall they call upon me , but I will not answer ; they shall seek me early , but they shall not find me : * For that they hated knowledge da #ath #, and did not choose the fear of the LORD :
