TSK · Proverbs 12:6

¶ Moreover Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Let me now choose out twelve thousand men, and I will arise and pursue after David this night:

For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage.

¶ In the mouth of the foolish [is] a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

For among my people are found wicked [men]: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men.

¶ And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.

And desired favour against him, that he would send for him to Jerusalem, laying wait in the way to kill him.
