The godly man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul: thus they weave it together.

Proverbs 1:11-29
If they say, Come with us, Let us lay wait for blood; Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause;Let us swallow them up alive as Sheol, And whole, as those that go down into the pit;We shall find all precious substance; We shall fill our houses with spoil;Thou shalt cast thy lot among us; We will all have one purse:My son, walk not thou in the way with them; Refrain thy foot from their path:For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood.For in vain is the net spread In the sight of any bird:And these lay wait for their own blood; They lurk privily for their own lives.So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; It taketh away the life of the owners thereof.Wisdom crieth aloud in the street; She uttereth her voice in the broad places;She crieth in the chief place of concourse; At the entrance of the gates, In the city, she uttereth her words:How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you.Because I have called, and ye have refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man hath regarded;But ye have set at nought all my counsel, And would none of my reproof:I also will laugh in the day of your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;When your fear cometh as a storm, And your calamity cometh on as a whirlwind; When distress and anguish come upon you.Then will they call upon me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but they shall not find me:For that they hated knowledge, And did not choose the fear of Jehovah,
