בְּנִי אַל־תֵּלֵךְ בְּדֶרֶךְ אִתָּם מְנַע רַגְלְךָ מִנְּתִיבָתָֽם
My son, walk not thou in the way with them, restrain thy foot from their path;
כִּי רַגְלֵיהֶם לָרַע יָרוּצוּ וִֽימַהֲרוּ לִשְׁפָּךְ־דָּֽם
For their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.
כִּֽי־חִנָּם מְזֹרָה הָרָשֶׁת בְּעֵינֵי כָל־בַּעַל כָּנָֽף
For in vain the net is spread in the eyes of any bird;
וְהֵם לְדָמָם יֶאֱרֹבוּ יִצְפְּנוּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָֽם
And these lie in wait for their own blood, they lurk for their own lives.
כֵּן אָרְחוֹת כָּל־בֹּצֵֽעַ בָּצַע אֶת־נֶפֶשׁ בְּעָלָיו יִקָּֽח
So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; it taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
