11 if they say, Come with us, we lurk for blood, we hide out gratuitously for the innocent;
12 we swallow them alive as sheol; the integrious, as those who descend into the well;
13 we find all esteemed wealth; we fill our houses with spoil;
14 fell your pebble among us; we all have one pouch!
15 - my son, walk not in the way with them; withhold your foot from their path:
16 for their feet run to evil and hasten to pour blood.
17 Surely the net is winnowed gratuitously in the eye of any master of wing:
18 they lurk for their own blood; they hide out for their own souls:
19 thus are the ways of all the greedy of greed; who take away the soul of their masters.
20 Wisdom shouts; she gives her voice in the broadways;
21 she calls out in the top of the roaring - in the portals of the portals; in the city she says her sayings,
22 Until when, O gullible, love you gullibility? and scorners delight in their scorning? and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn at my reproof; behold, I gush my spirit to you; I make known my words to you.
24 Because I called and you refuse; I spread my hand and no one hearkens;
25 you loose all my counsel and will none of my reproof.
26 I laugh at your calamity; I deride when your dread comes
27 - when your dread comes as devastation and your calamity comes as a hurricane; when tribulation and distress come on you.
28 Then they call me, and I answer not; they seek me early, and they find me not;
29 because they hate knowledge and choose not the awe of Yah Veh;
