Proverbs 1:15-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. My son, do not walk in the way with them,hold back your foot from their path!

16. [For their feet run to evil,they hasten to shed blood.]

17. In vain a net is spreadright under the eyes of any bird—

18. They lie in wait for their own blood,they set a trap for their own lives.

19. This is the way of everyone greedy for loot:it takes away their lives.
