20:001:010 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.

20:001:011 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us
           lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 

20:001:012 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those
           that go down into the pit: 

20:001:013 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses
           with spoil: 

20:001:014 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 

20:001:015 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot
           from their path: 

20:001:016 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

20:001:017 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

20:001:018 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for
           their own lives.

20:001:019 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which
           taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

20:001:020 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 

20:001:021 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of
           the gates:  in the city she uttereth her words, saying,

20:001:022 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the
           scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

20:001:023 Turn you at my reproof:  behold, I will pour out my spirit unto
           you, I will make known my words unto you.

20:001:024 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my
           hand, and no man regarded;

20:001:025 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my
           reproof: 

20:001:026 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear
           cometh;

20:001:027 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction
           cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon
           you.

20:001:028 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they
           shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 

20:001:029 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of
           the lord

20:001:030 They would none of my counsel:  they despised all my reproof.

20:001:031 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be
           filled with their own devices.

20:001:032 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the
           prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

20:001:033 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be
           quiet from fear of evil.

20:002:001 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my
           commandments with thee;
