They may say, “Come and join us.

Let’s hide and kill someone!

Just for fun, let’s ambush the innocent!

Let’s swallow them alive, like the grave;

let’s swallow them whole, like those who go down to the pit of death.

Think of the great things we’ll get!

We’ll fill our houses with all the stuff we take.

Come, throw in your lot with us;

we’ll all share the loot.”

We shall lie in wait for blood;

we shall ambush the innocent without cause.

we shall fill our houses with booty,

you shall throw your lot in our midst,

there will be one purse for all of us.”

We shall fill our houses with spoil:

Cast in thy lot among us;

Let us all have one purse:
