12We swallow them as Sheol — alive, And whole — as those going down to the pit,


In Context

10 My son, if sinners entice thee be not willing.

11 If they say, 'Come with us, we lay wait for blood, We watch secretly for the innocent without cause,

12 We swallow them as Sheol — alive, And whole — as those going down to the pit,

13 Every precious substance we find, We fill our houses with spoil,

14 Thy lot thou dost cast among us, One purse is — to all of us.'
