| 17 | It does no good to spread a net within the sight of any bird. | 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 | But these people set an ambush for their own murder. They go into hiding only to lose their lives. | 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 | This is what happens to everyone who is greedy for unjust gain. Greed takes away his life. | 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. | |
