If they say, "Come with us! Let's lie in wait for blood; let's ambush some innocent person for no reason at all.

For they run toward evil; these enticers shed blood without hesitation.

but these people lie in wait for their own blood. They ambush only themselves.

then do this, my son, and deliver yourself, because you have come under your neighbor's control. Go, humble yourself! Plead passionately with your neighbor!

Arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, and hands shedding innocent blood;

Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out her seven pillars.

Through the blessing of the righteous a city is built up, but what the wicked say tears it down.

Won't those who plot evil go astray? But gracious love and truth are for those who plan what is good.

The wicked man puts up a bold appearance, but the upright thinks about what he is doing.

for the LORD will plead their case and ruin the lives of those who ruin them.

By wisdom a house is built; it is made secure through understanding.

First do your outside work, preparing your land for yourself. After that, build your house.

The wicked flee, though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold like a lion.

The rock badgers aren't a strong species either, yet they build their dens in the rocks.
