Let us swallow them up alive as does Sheol (the place of the dead), and whole, as those who go down into the pit [of the dead];

We shall find and take all kinds of precious goods [when our victims are put out of the way], we shall fill our houses with plunder;

Throw in your lot with us [they insist] and be a sworn brother and comrade; let us all have one purse in common—

My son, do not walk in the way with them; restrain your 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!

But [when these men set a trap for others] they are lying in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives.

So are the ways of everyone who is greedy of gain; such [greed for plunder] takes away the lives of its possessors.

"from men who speak perverse things and are liars

Froward or "tahpukah" in Hebrew meaning: perversity or fraud, perverse thing

Very frightful experience when I worked in a callcenter, all their lives are different. We know that our lives are borrowed from the LORD, and GOD entrusted to us this life to be later returned to him at the proper time in the time of our death, but these people in callcenter and elsewhere as well, first (1) they made the bodies as canvas, they vandalized it with tattoos, (2) the LORD entrusted to them a male creature but will return it female , and (3) the LORD entrusted to them a female creature but returned it male. Very funny, and sad at the same time. Because they're not faithful in returning the borrowed lives and bodies.
