11They will say, “Come with us.
Let’s ambush and kill someone;
let’s attack some innocent people just for fun.
12Let’s swallow them alive, as death does;
let’s swallow them whole, as the grave does.
13We will take all kinds of valuable things
and fill our houses with stolen goods.
14Come join us,
and we will share with you stolen goods.”

If they say, “Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood;
let us ambush the innocent without reason;
like Sheol let us swallow them alive,
and whole, like those who go down to the pit;
we shall find all precious goods,
we shall fill our houses with plunder;
throw in your lot among us;
we will all have one purse”—

and fill our houses with plunder;
cast lots with us;
we will all share the loot”—

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.”

If they say,
“Come with us!
We shall lie in wait for blood;
we shall ambush the innocent without cause.
Like Sheol, we will swallow them alive
and whole, like those who descend to the pit.
We shall find all precious wealth,
we shall fill our houses with booty,
you shall throw your lot in our midst,
there will be one purse for all of us.”

KJV 1900King James Version
If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood,
Let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
Let us swallow them up alive as the grave;
And whole, as those that go down into the pit:
We shall find all precious substance,
We shall fill our houses with spoil:
Cast in thy lot among us;
Let us all have one purse:
