^15 (A)“Their feet are swift to shed blood;

¹⁶ For they ^(A)cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;
    they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.

¹¹ If they say, “Come with us, ^(A)let us lie in wait for blood;
    ^(B)let us ambush the innocent without reason;
¹² like Sheol let us ^(C)swallow them alive,
    and whole, like ^(D)those who go down to the pit;
¹³ we shall find all precious goods,
    we shall fill our houses with plunder;
¹⁴ throw in your lot among us;
    we will all have one purse”—
¹⁵ my son, ^(E)do not walk in the way with them;
    ^(F)hold back your foot from their paths,
¹⁶ for ^(G)their feet run to evil,
    and they make haste to shed blood.

⁴ He ^(A)plots ^(B)trouble while on his bed;
    he sets himself in ^(C)a way that is not good;
    ^(D)he does not reject evil.

¹⁴ The murderer rises before it is light,
    that he ^(A)may kill the poor and needy,
    and in the night he is like a thief.
¹⁵ The eye of the adulterer also waits for ^(B)the twilight,
    saying, ‘No ^(C)eye will see me’;
    and he veils his face.
¹⁶ In the dark they ^(D)dig through houses;
    by day they shut themselves up;
    they do not know the light.
¹⁷ For ^(E)deep darkness is morning to all of them;
    for they are friends with the terrors of deep darkness.
