17 Surely in deceit is the net spread in 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 And they lie in wait, they hide themselves to shed blood. 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 all who practice iniquity, who take away the life of their owners. 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.
