LXX Proverbs 1:17
Septuagint
17 for one does not spread a net for birds without reason. 18 For those who participate in slaughter store up bad things for themselves, and the destruction of lawless men is bad. 19 These are the ways of all those who carry out lawless deeds, for by ungodliness they take away their own life. 20 Wisdom sings in the exits and leads confidently into open areas, 21 and upon the top of the walls she proclaims, and at the gates she sits beside rulers, and at the gates of the city she speaks boldly:

New Testament
3 And do you think, whoever you are, when you judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment? 4 Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance? 5 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed! 6 He will reward each one according to his works: 7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,

Notes and References
"... One cannot forget the point that Paul rejected neither his Jewish nor Hellenistic background. Paul still remained a part of both. As we have seen above, Paul does use Hellenistic influences in his writing. But he also uses Jewish influences as well. Paul was a Pharisee who at one point within his life had such a particular zeal for the traditions of Judaism, that he advanced beyond any other person of the same age as his (Galatians 1:14). So, therefore, it is not surprising that Paul would have occasionally used a rabbinic methodology when he examined scripture (1 Corinthians 10:1-5). Paul also uses themes that were characteristic of Jewish apocalyptic literature: God revealed the sins of the wicked (Romans 1:18); the judgement of God (1 Corinthians 4: 4-5; 5:13; 11:33; Romans 2:16; the coming of a new era (1 Corinthians 1:8: 5:5; Romans 2:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-5:2) ..."
