We will all share equally in what we steal.”My child, do not go down their way, withhold yourself from their path;for they are eager to inflict harm, and they hasten to shed blood.Surely it is futile to spread a net in plain sight of any bird,but these men lie in wait for their own blood, they ambush their own lives!Such are the ways of all who gain profit unjustly; it takes away the life of those who obtain it!
