A wise
<02450>
[man] will hear
<08085> (8799)_,
and will increase
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>_;
and a man of understanding

My son
<01121>_,
hear
<08085> (8798)
the instruction

of thy father
<01>_,
and forsake
<05203> (8799)
not the law

about thy neck

thou not.

for blood
<01818>_,
let us lurk
<06845> (8799)
privily for the innocent

without cause
<02600>_:
Let us swallow them up
<01104> (8799)
alive

as the grave
<07585>_;
and whole
<08549>_,
as those that go down
<03381> (8802)
into the pit
<0953>_:
We shall find
<04672> (8799)
all precious
<03368>
substance
<01952>_,
we shall fill
<04390> (8762)
our houses
<01004>
with spoil
<07998>_:
Cast
<05307> (8686)
in thy lot
<01486>
among
<08432>
us; let us all have one
<0259>
purse
<03599>_:
My son
<01121>_,
walk
<03212> (8799)
not thou in the way
<01870>
with them; refrain
<04513> (8798)
thy foot
<07272>
from their path
<05410>_:
For their feet
<07272>
run
<07323> (8799)
to evil
<07451>_,
and make haste
<04116> (8762)
to shed
<08210> (8800)
blood
<01818>_.
Surely in vain
<02600>
the net
<07568>
is spread
<02219> (8794)
in the sight
<05869>
of any bird
<01167> <03671>_.
{in the...: Heb. in the eyes of every thing that hath a wing}
And they lay wait
<0693> (8799)
for their [own] blood
<01818>_;
they lurk privily
<06845> (8799)
for their [own] lives
<05315>_.
