16 for their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed blood. for their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed blood. for their feet rush into evil, they are swift to shed blood.
17 For the net is spread in vain in the eyes of any owner of the wing, For in vain is a net spread in the sight of any bird, How useless to spread a net where every bird can see it!
18 and they lie in wait for their own blood; they lurk for their own souls. but these men lie in wait for their own blood; they set an ambush for their own lives. These men lie in wait for their own blood; they ambush only themselves!
19 Such are the ways of everyone being greedy for dishonest gain—the soul of its masters it takes away. Such are the ways of everyone who is greedy for unjust gain; it takes away the life of its possessors. Such are the paths of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the life of those who get it.
