14 Echa tu suerte entre nosotros; tengamos todos una bolsa:
15 Hijo mío, no andes en camino con ellos; aparta tu pie de sus veredas:
16 Porque sus pies correrán al mal, é irán presurosos á derramar sangre.
17 Porque en vano se tenderá la red ante los ojos de toda ave;
18 Mas ellos á su propia sangre ponen asechanzas, y á sus almas tienden lazo.
