11	אִם־ יֹאמְרוּ֮ לְכָ֪ה אִ֫תָּ֥נוּ נֶאֶרְבָ֥ה לְדָ֑ם נִצְפְּנָ֖ה לְנָקִ֣י חִנָּֽם׃	If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us ambush the innocent without reason;	If they say, “Come along with us; let’s lie in wait for innocent blood, let’s ambush some harmless soul;
12	נִ֭בְלָעֵם כִּשְׁא֣וֹל חַיִּ֑ים וּ֝תְמִימִ֗ים כְּי֣וֹרְדֵי בֽוֹר׃	like Sheol let us swallow them alive, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;	let’s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
13	כָּל־ ה֣וֹן יָקָ֣ר נִמְצָ֑א נְמַלֵּ֖א בָתֵּ֣ינוּ שָׁלָֽל׃	we shall find all precious goods, we shall fill our houses with plunder;	we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;
14	גּ֭וֹרָ֣לְךָ תַּפִּ֣יל בְּתוֹכֵ֑נוּ כִּ֥יס אֶ֝חָ֗ד יִהְיֶ֥ה לְכֻלָּֽנוּ׃	throw in your lot among us; we will all have one purse”—	cast lots with us; we will all share the loot\|—
15	בְּנִ֗י אַל־ תֵּלֵ֣ךְ בְּדֶ֣רֶךְ אִתָּ֑ם מְנַ֥ע רַ֝גְלְךָ֗ מִנְּתִיבָתָֽם׃	my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths,	my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;
16	כִּ֣י רַ֭גְלֵיהֶם לָרַ֣ע יָר֑וּצוּ וִֽ֝ימַהֲר֗וּ לִשְׁפָּךְ־ דָּֽם׃	for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood.	for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.
17	כִּֽי־ חִ֭נָּם מְזֹרָ֣ה הָרָ֑שֶׁת בְּ֝עֵינֵ֗י כָל־ בַּ֥עַל‪‬ כָּנָֽף׃	For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird,	How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!
18	וְ֭הֵם לְדָמָ֣ם יֶאֱרֹ֑בוּ יִ֝צְפְּנ֗וּ לְנַפְשֹׁתָֽם׃	but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.	These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
