Proverbs 1:15
13 We will find all manner of precious goods; we will fill our houses with plunder.
14 Throw in your lot with us; let us all share one purse”—
my son, do not walk the road with them or set foot upon their path.
16 For their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood.
17 How futile it is to spread the net where any bird can see it!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
