| 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. | |
