Thy lot, shalt thou cast into our midst, One purse, shall there be, for us all. My son, do not walk in the way with them, Withhold thy foot from their path. For, their feet, to mischief, do run, and haste to the shedding of blood. read more.
Surely, in vain, is spread the net, in the sight of aught that hath wings! Yet, they, for their own blood, lie in wait, They watch in secret for their own life. Such are the ways of every one that graspeth with greed, The life of the owners thereof, it taketh away! Wisdom, in the open place, soundeth forth, in the broadways, she raiseth her voice; At the head of bustling streets, she crieth aloud, - at the openings of the gates in the city - her sayings, she doth utter: - How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and, scoffers, in scoffing, delight them? and, dullards, hate knowledge? Will ye turn, at my reproof? Lo! I will pour out to you my spirit, I will make known my words to you. Because I called, and ye refused, I stretched out my hand, and no one regarded; But ye dismissed all my counsel, and, to my rebuke, would not yield, I also, at your calamity, will laugh, I will mock, when cometh your dread; When cometh as a crashing your dread, and, your calamity, as a storm-wind, overtaketh, when there come upon you, distress and anguish. Then, will they call me, but I will not answer, they will seek me diligently, but shall not find me. Because they hated knowledge, and, the reverence of Yahweh, did not choose; Consented not to my counsel, disdained all my rebuke, Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and, with their own counsels, be filled. For, the turning away of the simple, will slay them, - and, the carelessness of dullards, will destroy them.

According to all the doings which they have done, from the day I brought them up out of Egypt, even until this day, in that they have forsaken me, and served other gods, so, are they doing even unto thee.
