Proverbs 1:13-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
13We will find all kinds of precious wealth, We will fill our houses with plunder; 14Throw in your lot with us; We will all have one money bag,' 15My son, do not walk on the way with them. Keep your feet from their path, 16For their feet run to evil, And they are quick to shed blood. 17Indeed, it is useless to spread the baited net In the sight of any bird; 18But they lie in wait for their own blood; They ambush their own lives. 19Such are the ways of everyone who makes unjust gain; It takes away the life of its possessors.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 1
13We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder. 14Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share the loot" — 15my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path, 16because their feet run toward evil and they hurry to shed blood. 17It is useless to spread a net where any bird can see it, 18but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives. 19Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it.New Living Translation
Chapter 1
13Think of the great things we’ll get! We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take. 14Come, throw in your lot with us; we’ll all share the loot.'
15My child, don’t go along with them! Stay far away from their paths.
16They rush to commit evil deeds. They hurry to commit murder.
17If a bird sees a trap being set, it knows to stay away.
18But these people set an ambush for themselves; they are trying to get themselves killed.
19Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money; it robs them of life.

Chapter 1
13we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder; 14throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse" — 15my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, 16for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. 17 For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, 18but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. 19 Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors.New International Version
Chapter 1
13we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; 14cast lots with us; we will all share the loot"— 15my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; 16for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood. 17How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it! 18These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves! 19Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.New King James Version
