Proverbs 1:13-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

13. Think of the great things we’ll get!We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.

14. Come, throw in your lot with us;we’ll all share the loot.”

15. My child, don’t go along with them!Stay far away from their paths.

16. They rush to commit evil deeds.They hurry to commit murder.

17. If a bird sees a trap being set,it knows to stay away.

18. But these people set an ambush for themselves;they are trying to get themselves killed.

19. Such is the fate of all who are greedy for money;it robs them of life.

20. Wisdom shouts in the streets.She cries out in the public square.
