We'll fill our houses with spoil. 14 You shall cast your lot among us. We'll all have one purse." 15 My son, don't walk in the way with them. Keep your foot from their path, 16 For their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood. 17 For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird: 18 But these lay wait for their own blood.
